Punches above it's small size!

This is a small, compact set top box which can record via USB in HD from Freeview. Excellent picture quality on standard and HD, easy to set -up with good menu and remote device.The EPG is a little too small for clear reading and a little complicated. You can record one programme and watch another at the same time providing it is in the same multiplex.Obtained at a very good price the item is definitely good value and, though lacking some of the features found on much more expensive hard drive recorders at the top end, this is easily amongst the best budget PVRs
I have tried. It performs very well and reliably and is highly recommended with only a few minor negatives

Seems ok and apparently works but comes without operating instructions

Small, looks good but only has one tuner and no operating instructions so still learning how it works after 5 nights missing programs I want to watch. I have used stuff like this before but with no operating instructions it's a long learning curve and a lot of time wasted and tv missed in the process of finding out how it works. Read full review

Small Box but a big performance.

This Freeview Set Top Box is small in size making it unobtrusive. It is very easy to install using a HDMI lead or a SCART lead meaning it can be used with old analogue TVs as well as newer TVs. I used it to replace an old Grundig Set Top Box that stopped working and I am very pleased with this purchase. It works well even with a portable TV aerial. Recommended.Read full review

a good value Freeview box

Easy to set up and to make use of all the features, I did not receive a user manual but it did not really matter it was quite simple to work out how to set up the channels and personalise other settings to my preferences.
It has a good record feature via USB stick, but sometimes does not recognise it and a 'Device Not Inserted' message comes up on the screen, but a re-boot usually puts things right.
So all in all a good value Digibox, which is easy to set up and use.

Great value and works well

Great value and works well. Is much easier to use the record functions than with a different brand of set top box I purchased for another TV, which did record OK, but was very tricky to use. So overall very satisfied.Read full review

Good for the money.

Easy to set up and operate. The EPG has very small text and if you view other channel information the unit automatically tunes to that channel when sometimes you only want to browse the information before making your selection. Read full review

ok FOR THE PRICE

It is what it is, it works but due to outdatedness its pretty clunky. i bought it for an elderly relative but he couldn't use it so I had to take it out. ok if you want a cheap bunch of extra channels and aren't too old to cope with something outside of the norm.Read full review

Only half the channels we got with previous box

Works automatically; but it needs a strong signal. Before this I had a Dion set-top box, which picked up a full range of channels. Using the same large aerial indoors in inner-city London, the Clarity box picks up e.g. BBC 1 & 2 but not 3 or 4, nor ITV, C4, C5. Read full review
