I bought this from hughesdirect on the amazon marketplace, mostly on the back of reviews here, as I had recently had a satellite dish installed and wanted to take advantage of the extra features that satellite bandwith proviedes. As previous reviewers have said, the setup was easy and the installation went without a hitch - it found all the channels and services I expected and presented them in a reaonably easy to navigate EPG and menu.
The problems began when I (shock, horror) wanted to actually watch tv!
Although I got mostly 100% signal (occasionally it dropped to 96%) although I could see the programme in the guide many of the channels reported no signal at all. I did some further research into this on the net and found so many incidents of the same problems with this model it wasnt funny. (I now regret not doing more research before purchase, lesson learnt) I also noted that Grundig have even taken this model off their own website!
I contacted hughesdirect through the amazon site to get a refund, twice, but they didnt reply. Not even a murmer. So now I have a box that doesnt work and no way of getting a refund.
All I can say is warning warning warning! You may well get a box that works (although it appears there is not a very good chance of that), but if you dont you are just throwing money away on what is at best an average piece of kit.

Bought this as an alternative to paying for a second Sky box, as Freeview is not available in our area - can definitely recommend this box to anyone wishing to receive the freeview channels. Very easy to set up - just plug in to satellite dish cable and the box does the rest - I have 143 channels and so far no viewing problems at all. Highly recommended.

We suddenly found ourselves needing a freesat box and the satellite engineer recommended Grundig to us. However he thought it would be rather more expensive. We couldnt' believe out luck when we found this one on Amazon - it arrived with us very quickly and was incredibly easy to use. Literally plug and play. Didn't even need the instructions!
Brilliant value for money and works perfectly.
