Or go to trade me and you can get one on there for $60 new although they arent freeview approved but they do receive freeview. |

| 784689 | 2009-06-22 22:47:00 | Are you wanting to receive Freeview via satellite (DVB-S) or are you in an area that can receive Freeview|HD via UHF (DVB-T)? | CYaBro (73) | ||

| 784691 | 2009-06-23 00:52:00 | Zinwell or Hills are meant to be the best makes. I have a Zinwell ZMT-620HD freeview HD reciever which I can't complain about. Had it for about 6 weeks. It is one of the dearer models has Teletext and comes with a HDMI cable. Cheaper models don't come with a HDMI cable which you have to buy separately, thats if you are going HD. You can also get Freeview receivers with hard drives in them which allow you to record freeview. I saw a Zinwell one in Harvey Normans over the weekend for about $700. :) |

| 784693 | 2009-06-23 03:02:00 | Grab the cheap ones off TM. Around 110, and have a USB port for recording stuff. | Blam (54) | ||
| 784694 | 2009-06-23 03:07:00 | Would recommend staying away from Zinwell. Every FV installer I've talked to says they are great when they work, but 40% - 60% failure rate is too high. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 784695 | 2009-06-23 04:01:00 | I wonder if the Hill's is via OZ crowd,they make good stuff! | Cicero (40) | ||
| 784696 | 2009-06-23 04:14:00 | Get one that isn't $2.50 and made in China. eg: one that will actually work for more than 5 months... |
