Panasonic TUCT 41 Set Top Box
Only £35, i`m tempted as was gonna get a cheap £25 stb anyway - I`m not bothered about Top up TV - Any opinions or might i as well go the £25 budget route?

I got one after seeing it on another forum. I`ve had it a week & so far it`s been very good. I was about to get one of the Asda ones but prefered the better name for a little extra. It`s not TUTV compatable though.

My sentiments too, thanks for the vote Paull :)

Well my father is looking for a new freeview box, and I was going to get this Panasonic from Argos today for him but after checking out reviews the better name doesn`t always apply, Panasonic DVD Recorders are great, but check out customer reviews of the TU-CT 41, not favourable at all.

After much deliberation and checking out more reviews opted to get him the Wharfedale DV832B, £34.99, doesnt lock up, have timer problems or look as ugly.

Well this forum generally likes them

I bought a Sagem from Argos abouth a month ago twin scart and cost £35.00 well pleased with it ,better picture and sound then my Alba model but my Alba is over two years old and as audio output (phono sockets) and is still working fine. :)

Bought one from Sainsbury but had to return it . Won`t work on tv without scart socket as no RF for aerial loop through. Older model was better.

Very few have a modulator built in nowadays. :(

My dad bought one and had to return it - it wouldn`t pick up half of the channels that his other box does (buying it as a second box). Also said the remote was shyte.


What I`m listening to...

Picked one up and am quite pleased with it as it receives more channels than my daughter`s existing Technosonic one (upstairs), although it receives nothing but a few BBC channels downstairs (maybe due to lead windows?) even with the signal booster (SLxA) so i`ve let her have it and will have to get a proper arial sorted out when i can afford to do so which has made me a popular chap anyhow so money well spent for now!
