Yep, we had freeview, then top-up TV and hardly got any channels because the signal was so rubbish. Ended up geting Sky and have had no problems at all.

Sony VTX800U
Think I bought mine of/or about £80.00. Good signal pick up, menus etc. Rated very highly with Which? etc etc.
It's been faultless, I can highly recommend it.

i've upgraded to a HDD freeview, so this is unused now, a mere year old too

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!

Also have a Thompson which ive had for a couple of years, only problem is the payperview stuff as it doesnt have a card slot. Is very good apart from it needed and amplified indoor ariel as when I had the loft conversion done I lost my outside one. works a treat in the daughters bedroom as we have SKY multiroom elsewhere

We have Sky+ & want Sky+ multiroom...

TBH I think Sky is the best option over freeview anyway

Same problem with the three set top boxes I have had experience of too, the only thing that works properly is the digital tuner in our new telly itself - perfectly reliable and easy to use as it's not a separate unit. Avoid Nokia, dreadfully unreliable, used to unplug it 4 or 5 times an evening as it had locked up.
