    sounds like a dodgy and illegal black box.

    Why, if their all FTA channels like Film4 surely there would be no problem.

    There are also illegal cable boxes doing the rounds. They need cable and a fast getaway car as the fine is substantial.

    Only really consider Terrestiral Freeview if you already get BBC, ITV, C4, Five from an aerial from UK (not a deflector).
