I agree. I STILL don't get the purpose of this. you need to plug in an aerial for it to work and, as most Xboxes are plugged into modern TVs now surely they already have freeview and (possibly some sort of smart function) built in. my old 720p LG had freeview and my last Panasonic tv had iplayer built in and that was about 6 years old! If this allowed streaming of tv without an aerial i could see the point. (so why am i thinking about getting one anyway? :wink: )

We binned sky to get one of these. At the time MS was on about bringing DVR functionality to XBox. They have canned that idea but even so this saved us getting a DVR freeview box for another 200 quid.
Quality is excellent and you can pause and rewind etc which im not sure if i can do that with my tv. You cant record stuff but we watch most stuff on demand anyway.
For 9 quid if you dont have a freeview box already its defo useful.

You won't find a decent DVB-T2 PC Tuner for £8.95 sadly.

Or buy a TV with a tuner built in? Plenty of cheap freeview enabled TV's out there.

Surely worth the 10p extra for first class delivery?

So this allows all the freeview channels to be watched on the xbox one? Does this always have good signal or hit and miss like aerials?

It may allow some degree of time shifting but you can't record TV using this. Makes it a LOT less useful.

Nothing earth shattering but it's 10p cheaper at base as an alternative
