    I'm seeking a combo box which is unbreakable.
    The current Ferguson ariva keeps getting unprogrammed by holiday guests. I want something that is simple, easy to use and very difficult to break.

    Good idea, I'll try that however I cannot be sure if they are messing with the box or it is intermittently resetting itself.

    Put in a parental lock code that will restrict menu access. In my experience no Ariva box has ever re set itself.

    A Saorview tv, and a Freesat stb, would be pretty unbreakable.

    If your wanting something for rental or holiday home i would highly recommend a saorview/satellite/smart TV. The Toshiba, Nordmende and Walker range have everything on the 1 remote and all channels on the same screen with out the need of any receivers/ boxes. once the TV is programmed and connected to the net. Your patrons/guests have access to 100 fairly decent channels and the option of netflix to keep them happy also the menus on these TVs can be locked with a 4 digit code so your restricting anyone from been able to mess with the channels or settings.
