Hi

I'm looking at a few devices and looking for opinions on which is better or any alternative recommendation people would suggest over these.

Option 1: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Terrestrial-Switchover-Converter-Definition-REPLACEMENT-SILVER/dp/B00U4E0I8Q/ref=redir_mobile_desktop/257-6450002-1504442?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=ox_sc_act_image_1&smid=A33TLDXLAOT1KS

Option 2: https://www.amazon.co.uk/BT-Youview-Freeview-Catch-Subscription/dp/B00ISS61KE/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top

Any one any advice?

You do realise that those boxes will only receive digital terrestrial TV via an aerial? They wont work with any form of satellite dish.

If you are close to the NI border you might pick up Freeview which is the UK's version of our Saorview. Likewise there are locations along the East and Southeast coastlines where the Freeview signal can be picked up also.

In any event you're better off posting in the Terrestrial TV forum if thats what you're after or if its Free to Air (FTA) via satellite dish then try the satellite forum
