It's not signal strength that bugs me, in fact the Philips box that I'm struggling with picks up signals from Macclesfield as well as my very local (1/2 mile away) transmitter in Stoke - it's the lousy reliabilty of every box I've had up to now. I can guarantee that if I want to watch anything tonight, the first thing I'll have to do is unplug the thing to reboot it!

Thanks for the recommendations, by the way!
