Basic set top box
 
Hi,

What would people recommend for a cheap, basic set top box? I'm not
interested in fancy EPGs or OSDs, or dual scarts, or anything like that.
All it needs to be is stable.

Thanks,

Joe

All it needs to be is stable.

Most boxes have the centre of gravity safely above the base. I don't think you
need to worry about this.

On the subject of television interference, there can be no doubt that the most
effective solution is the one that prevents the interference from ever
occurring.

Thanks for that ;-) I was thinking more along the lines of not needing to be
reset every 5 minutes.

Some of the 'bread-bin' style boxes can have stability problems if
they are stood upside down. I have noticed a tendency to rock.

off or reset in the three weeks we/they have had it.
YMMV.
