Verdict
This box has basic front panel controls with a numeric display showing channel number or a clock. It has 2 SCART sockets, but older TVs with no spare SCART socket can be connected via the aerial. The TV Guide was very slow to fill up. It has favourite channels feature but they cannot be displayed in their own TV Guide. It was not considered easy to install or retune and standby energy consumption was quite high.
