Free Sat Box advice.

[macabethiel]

Looking at buying a new Free Sat Box as we can't get a decent signal on Freeview.
We have a Goodmans one at present it was cheap and cheerful now getting one for the spare room TV so will demote the Goodmans and use the new one in our lounge.
There seems to be a crazy range of prices anyone here got one to recommend? Not really looking for a recording facility just something with a HDMI output. Wonder if the ethernet connection is worthwhile ?
Budget is £100 tops cheaper is better !

We recently changed to Ariel digi, binned the satellite as rubbish, got one TV with in built digi, and bought a box for the other dirt cheap, both run of same Ariel, but we are not high end users, Rick

Free Sat only as crap signal from Aerial

Although we live in Littleover on the outskirts of Derby our house is in some sort of signal black hole that means about 50 or so houses just can't get a signal from Nottingham and the one from Sutton Coldfield only works with a signal booster or if you have a new Aerial on an Eiffel Tower like structure with price to match !

We used to have Sky a few years ago so we use the dish they left us for Free Sat signal and it's a good signal so need a suitable box. Not sure what a high end user is but we have not had our set on since Thursday night. This will change when it's too cold to sit in our garden to eat our meals and listen to music.
