Verdict
Small, intuitive and simple to use box with a fairly large and well designed remote control, dedicated subtitle and audio description buttons and an easily readable TV guide. No favourite channel groups but you can hide unwanted channels. It also has the assisted retune feature - this makes re-tuning for digital switchover much easier.
