Two questions: Are they economically repairable, if so who does it (in Christchurch), and: Are there any other brands available? Brucem No company is going to be repairing a $120 freeveiw box, unless its just a external power supply fault. The companies that used to do TV etc repairs have mostly gone out of buseness, people found it cheaper to replace than repair . Freeview website shows many of the ~certified~ freeveiw boxes . Start there , heaps to choose from . :)	1101 (13337)

Both mine have been just fine, my 1st was one of the original Zinwell boxes, with a horrid reputation for failing. It just kept going , never any issues. I only replaced it as I wanted a rec to USB option. The newer box has much better picture quality, the Zinwell may not have been HD .	1101 (13337)
