Verdict
This box was generally easy to use with full front panel controls and 2 SCART sockets, but the poor quality SCART lead supplied may affect picture quality. Older TVs that have no spare SCART socket can be connected via the aerial. It has a headphone socket and convenient audio outputs for direct connection to a hi-fi system. The TV Guide only shows one channel at a time and is very slow to fill up but it does show a small picture of the currently tuned channel. It also has audio description and was considered fairly easy to install.
