My son has an older TV that couldn't lock onto any BBC channels. It was a good TV nice picture and sound but the limited EPG and BBC channels issues were pointing it towards the skip. This little box gave a new lease of life to this TV for use in the bedroom.

Good price but i am disappointed with the product. Intermittent signal leading to missing dialogue especially bad on the radio tuner with lost speech every minute. On the TV setting the synch is off between sound and picture which makes everything you watch seem like a badly dubbed kung-fu movie. Messages continually pop on screen such as "LCN has changed" and a constant message asking if you want to re-tune the box. The navigation both on the remote and the on-screen menu is very non-standard and clumsy with actions such as changing channels really slow to react to instructions. For the money i should be happy but i do not find the product user friendly giving a poor quality of viewing and listening. I would instead recommend the Goodmans which i used previously.

I have had one of these Dion Stb1Aw11 Digital Set Top Box Portable Recievers with 7 Day Program Guide. I've used it daily for several months since purchasing it. I found it easy to set up and get working with my TV. The use of box is very easy using remote control unit. One feature I do like about the box. You can ask it to do extra audible descriptions during programmes. This is good for people with partial sight or Blind. The box is great as it turns it's self off after 3 hours if no-0one uses remote control. However, it turns it's self on to add system updates. These units are worth purchasing. I write this review based on my own experience of owning one.

I couldn't use the TV to watch programmes anymore although it can be used to play games but It is in my spare room for visitors to watch and purchasing this box has saved me having to buy a new TV. It was easy to install and I get a very good picture, only drawback is more cables and another remote to lose!

Tiny piece of kit but does the job!! Brought this as a replacement for my digi box which had broke. Only got the box and remote, but lacking the SCART lead and strangely the batteries for the remote, Still no big loss as had these from the previous box. It would pose a problem for a first time buyer. Installing the box was easy - just a scart lead from the box to the TV and the aerial in the back. Automatically went into set up and leads you though the process step by step, Only complaint if any any is the electronic program guide only shows a 2 hour slot, which makes browsing a problem. That said well worth the money and better than many overpriced boxes on sale
