Are they basicly all the same or is it better 2 go 4 a better more expensive make?

And wots this is ur ariel is 2 old and wont pick it up etc u need 2 get a new 1 ??

Can anybody advise me on these plz

Cheers

 

they all get the same channels mate,just you can pay for more if you buy one that has a slot in it for the card. mine doesnt,but i still get a fair few extra chanels for fuck all! improves the image too being digital. no need for a different aerial,either plug it in between tv and aerial socket,or run the aerial to it then use a scart lead to tv

 

thompson are shite,picks up channels ok but,it struggles with the now and next menu though ,changed ours to grundig and now alls sweet,get 1 with a card slot in case you want top-up tv at a later date

 

Tesco's do these for 25 quid now, can't be bad, E4 etc al on there!

 

 

I payed 80 for my philips what a treat! but it aint got the card slot cos i bought it when they came out

 

Payed £70 for our Sony one and been perfect. Fast at changing channels and the now and next and 7 day TV planner is really worth having, saves buying radio times or paper to see whats on TV. We got 2 scarts on it too so can tape video direct off the freeview box

 

i got a panasonic 1 paid about 100 quid when they first came out really good mate..as for your arial u need a 16 element digital arial really for a good reception i paid about 30 for mine

 

Our Thomson set-top box is great, but our Panasonic one doesn't have a timer for video-recording anything, and the now/next is a lot more limited.

The Panasonic IDTV won't allow us to delete or rearrange the order of the channels. In the recent bad weather digital was pretty much useless, and we ended up watching terrestrial telly.

 

WHAT! mines only got now & next on the banner

 

Can't remember the Thomson model number, but it's the one without a slot.

It has a full blown EPG and menu - look up the program for whatever number of days ahead and press the red button to program it to switch on and activate the VCR to record the programme. You can also programme it the old fashioned way by putting in the channel, date, time, duration etc yourself.

The Panasonic has none of that, just now and next.

 

Get one with a pvr hard disk I just bought a humax 9200t, and got rid of the video, and recording channels is easy and can record one channel and watch another or record 2 and watch a recording, also has a usb connection so can remove files from box and burn to dvd to keep or lend to others. can pause and rewind live tv like on skyplus as well.
