Product Description

TVonics launches first retail Set Top Box to meet new Government requirements. With the digital switchover taking place across the UK until 2012 it is imperative that you have access to products and services you can trust. The TVonics MDR-240 meets all the new 'core receiver requirements' and is designed to last the life of the TV it converts. It won't get overloaded with information it can't process and will retune when necessary, meaning that the MDR-240 responds to broadcast information that tell it that a retune is needed. This means that you will automatically be prompted to retune your box when required, so you don't have to worry that your TV viewing will be interrupted.

Great little box 23 Nov 2010
By TM
I plugged everything in, switched it one, pressed OK on the remote, and 30 seconds later all the stations were tuned in.

It gives a much better picture than the old analog. So I am pleased (if somewhat peeved that so many TV's around the house now don't work without my buying a new box for each of them!)

moving to digital 2 May 2011
As one who was a novice with regard to the ending of analogue and the transfer to digital, I bought this kit on the recommendation of a Which? review and found it easy to set up, so bought a second one for another television. Both have continued to function satisfactorily. The accompanying leaflet and booklet have proved to be accurate and useful, and written in language easy to follow. Well worth the money.

Purchased for the Audio Description (AD) function, which works well. Good price for a compact STB. So good I bought two.

Does what it says on the box.
I was quite impressed with the MDR-240 when I set it to work. Instructions are clear and simple, the remote control is very sensibly laid out and it works a treat. Read more

Terrible picture quality
Easy to setup and very neat, but the picture is harsh - very bright and high contrast. We have excellent signal strength, and other digital sources to compare to. Read more
