    on the Power City website the only certified saorview receiver is listed with satellite dish & LNB as an accessory, so we are off to a good start,

    after emailing Power City they have noted the accessory was inapropriate and removed it, got a phone call thanking me for my observation, fair play to them

    They are also claiming the Walker Saroview STB has DAB radio. I think that is most unlikely. I have never seen any DTT box yet that includes DAB radio.

    In all fairness to Power City they are the only company that I know that have embraced DTT from an early stage. And they do correct things when given the better steer. So fair play.

    Its a little unfortunate that they have a monopoly on box availability but that is not their fault. They also need to get their price point down. It is far too high. No doubt it is at a point that the Freeview HD box is, but they have a lot more channels to make them attractive. The unit price is not high or least it shouldnt be.

    As a retailer, they are a lot better than the Curry's of this world who I have seen at least 5 complaints about over the last week on this forum regarding major brands stocked not having MPEG4 capabilities and the old problem of Freeview products being stocked and the consumer being duped. This is despite the GM's assurance that he would look at the case that was put to him on the Curry's part of the forum. Not surprisingly the information given to him has not been acted upon by posters here who gave their time to post the right information so the situation could improve, but those posts havent even been responded to. So signs on it, the Irish consumer will buying some great products at Christmas.
