DTT STB Recommendations

Badgermonkey · 2010-08-12 17:20:30

Hi All, As my HDTV does not have a DVB-T / MPEG4 tuner I'm on the lookout for a DTT set top box. The pixmania.ie website doesn't seem to offer the required spec and the Triax TR110 on some sites appears expensive for what is essentially 4 channels. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks John mac, any idea when official boxes will be available? I know manufacturers have been asked to submit hardware to Teracom in Sweden for testing but surely if a soft launch is going live in Oct it's reasonable to assume the public will want information now regarding kit etc. As I said in another post, the lack of info/advertising regarding the Oct launch is baffling and the digitaltelevision.ie website is frankly a 2nd class press release. RTENL send you elsewhere looking for info which is understandable.

I know the UK is alot further down the line on these matters but they started their public info campaign years ago.
