A world of my own

I'm looking for a cheap one for my kitchen/dining room portable TV so I don't need anything fancy or expensive, just a basic one, whats the cheapest you've seen/bought? The silence when cooking/eating is driving me mad already

A wee bit of advice for what it's worth.

Although they all do the same basic thing, the way they work with regard to moving about the menus etc can vary, and if it was me, I wouldn't go for the very cheapest.

We've got 2 that I got out of Lidl or Aldi, and although they do the basic job, they're very slow when you're checking the guide/listings for instance, and in some other areas too, like the amount of info that the guide/listing gives.

I'm about to replace one of them and I'll be going to the cheapest and then moving up a few quid. You can also get a lot of feedback on various websites. Once you come across one you fancy, put it's details into Google, name and model number, and see if it comes up on any selling sites and see if they have buyer reviews. They can be very useful!

The secret to a reliable digital picture is a good signal from the aerial. Chose a good quality digital compatible aerial and you won't have a problem, avoid splitting an aerial signal, it'll only lead to problems - 1 aerial per box OR 1 aerial fed into a good quality amplifier if you are using a multi room system.

Some boxes are more tolerant to poor signal than others, but start at base level with a good signal and you'll be fine

@ Glaswegian, thanks, but as its just for the kitchen basic is fine, I just use it for a bit of background when cooking/eating and news etc so won't be bothered about much programme info etc.

A mate who's an ariel guy told me not all digi boxes have a memory good enough so wont store everything.
