our sky box broke so we bought a cheapo freeview box for £55 - yes it is worth it but only if you can receive a decent number of channels on it. We've got all the terrestrial channels, CBBC, CBeebies, BBC3, ITV2 and BBC4. The rest of the channels we've got are crap! (Like bid up tv ) Got loads of radio stations as well which is quite cool.

Check before you buy what the reception is like in your area - I think it's well worth it

We bought one recently, around 59quid in Sainsbury's. I don't watch tv myself, apart from news but the dk's like the children's programmes and the music channels. We get good reception, probably because the transmitter is visible from here!

PIL gave us their ITV digital box (instead of returning it as instructed) when ITV digital went bust and they got Sky. Don't think we watch much on it apart from odd bit of Cbeebies - maybe an hour a week. Occasionally DH might watch a footie match on ITV2 and thats really about it.
