Listed this a couple of weeks ago but sold out so for those that missed out - 12 month warranty, refurbished. The STBHDIS2010 you can upgrade the firmware (see link) to get iplayer (and other internet telly) plus the HD channels.
Has two scart sockets if like me you have an old telly but also a HDMI socket. You need to supply your own scart of HDMI cable.
These usually go very quickly. Picked mine up this morning from post office, in original box which is just a little bit battered. Looks perfect. Small too.
Good reviews and apparently the picture is very good. My toshiba freeview which comes with a DVD recorder isn't very good so hoping this will be better and it will have iplayer.
It has an ethernet port and you use an cable to connect your router to this box to get internet telly including iplayer. You should have gotten a cable with your router.
Is he saying that when you power down it loses the firmware and you have to download it again? If not then I might get one.

I did lots of research before buying it and I never came across that so it's possibly just their machine. I'm going to connect mine this evening.

Tecknika = Good brand.
I was looking for a DVD player few years back that could play all formats, money was tight and at the time was around 50 at least for any other. Found a technika one in tesco for £20.
Was perfect, good quality build good remote never let me down and was even goin to buy another incase it broke but never did.

I would not say Tecknika are a good brand. I have three refurbished Tecknika small LCD TVs. They do the job for the money, but when I moved to a weak signal area they all struggled for signal whilst better makes were OK. You pays your money. TBF at this price the Freeview box looks good value.

I have this very unit that I bought for £19.99 from Tesco's eBay site... It's an excellent piece of kit - The menu system is decent and it's pretty simple to install and set up - you may want to check whether this is actually a refurb though (mine was).
The only slight niggle I get is an intermittent problem when watching HD channels - the screen/sound goes blank for about a second or so, then come back on again.
Slightly annoying but I can deal with it - outside of that, the best £20 I have spent for a long time.

Decent enough HD unit for the money. Hot

If it loses power then it will need to redownload the channel zero and iplayer stuff, which only takes a couple of minutes if it has internet access. Leave it in standby and it's fine.

Try turning the hd link off in the settings.
