One of the boxes supplied by Sky for receiving digital TV via satellite - it's large with full controls on the top. Handles audio description and has a built in modulator for connecting to a no-SCART TV. Fairly high standby and in use power consumption. Good remote control that makes it easy to use.

This is a fairly basic STB with some niggles, eg poor remote control labelling, limited teletext, poor instructions and poorly labelled front panel controls.

This is a complex system with a well laid-out RC, but is let down by poor navigation keys, a busy on-screen menu display and a limited TV Guide.

This is a Virgin Media cable TV set top box capable of receiving standard and high definition TV for a monthly subscription. It is fully installed and demonstarted as part of the set-up process. The remote control and on screen menus are easy to use.

This is a Freesat standard definition set top box so requires a satellite dish. The TV guide was easy to navigate but slow to fill up and cramped on the screen. It was easy to install and satisfactory to use.

Some useful features like digital video output (HDMI) but lacks basics such as teletext and subtitles. Standby power consumption was high. Not very easy to use with a poorly laid out remote control that meant a lot of shuffling and concave central navigation keys so they were difficult to press. TV guide was cramped by an advertising banner and it lacked useful prompts.

Awkward to use due to the poorly laid-out on-screen menu, lack of prompting and poor remote control. But the only Aerial box receiving audio description.
