They're OK but I personally prefer Sky Plus.

Although we checked our postcode for reception, we still ended up with a £95 aerial upgrade to get all the channels.
Only thing worth watching is BBC3 IMO :rolleyes:

Bit of a waste of money, really.

well it wont show as many repeats 'cos you can only get a third of the channels that sky has.

It's the cheapest option for us and we only tend to watch ITV2 anyway to catch re-runs of Corrie/Eastenders and anything else we miss on ITV1.

It serves it's purpose. If we got Sky we probably wouldn't watch it anyway. :)

It's not that bad... never having had sky, I couldn't say if it was an improvement. It's better than the 4 channels I had before. However, I've disgusted myself by watching far too much rubbish - Bid TV anyone?! :blush:

Make sure you buy one with a slot for pay channels...then if you want you can get some of the pay channels too :D

we got one free off my housemates folks (they couldnt work out how to use it! lol)

i dont really bother with it, but my housemate only now ever watches the e4 channels.

im glad we did pay for it- it wouldnt be worth it as far as im concerned.
