Verdict
Generally very easy to use. This box has the assisted retune feature so will detect when a retune is required and complete this at the touch of a button. Has 2 SCART sockets, but the poor quality SCART lead supplied may affect picture quality. Parental control levels can be set. TV Guide is very slow to fill up, but it does show a small picture of the current channel. It was easy to install, but lacked front panel controls. Standby power consumption was high. Can handle audio description.
