Hi DswtF,

You seeem to have overlooked the Hauppage DEC1100-T (50 quid in
Boots).


I can't find it. Have you seen it on their website?


Neat little box with strange Scart facility (D socket with an
addaptor cable to link to the TV. It also had coax S?PDIF and 3.5mm
analogue stereo out. External power supply. Can be mounted verticaly
or horizontally (base for vertical use included. I got one for my
mother yesterday. Very simple set-up proceedure (no need to open the
instructions). No USB, by the way. Oh, and a bit like the Philips,
you can flip between radio and tv with a single button press.


Sounds alright; £50 for a Freeview receiver with S/PDIF certainly aint
bad. I'll add it if someone can find it!

Does having a SCART to the TV imply that the receiver can output RGB? I
thought some receivers didn't output RGB at all?

You're certainly correct as regards satellite receivers. The
digital receiver ("Porty", made in China) included in LiDL's
camping set earlier this year does not provide RGB on its Scart
connector.

Many apoligies, I got me stares mixed up. It was in WH Smith. Boots had a
Panasonic DVD Recorder at £199. I have only actually seen, and bought, the
device in the local shop itself. Will check thier website.

I note that their picture is of a model without the S/PDIF socket. The one
I bought (same model number) definitely has one, clearly marked and situated
centrally on the back panel. I have not used the S/PDIF (it was bought for
my
82 year old mother, who is nervous about using it). The S/PDIF out is also
clearly illustrated on the box, complete with connecting link marked
"Digital Audio (optionl)", but as I say, the one I bought definitely has the
socket. It's also mentioned, without any mention of it being optional, in
the specification in the manual, which also shows it in the illustrations
therein.

Okay, thanks. I'll add it, with a note.

I've added a page to my website with the prices at the main online
retailers of all Freeview receivers (apart from a couple like the Nokia
121T and Philips DTR100, which aren't price-competitive).
Thought you might be interested for your web pages.
I've not seen this one mentioned in these forums before - but I had an
email from Showshifter saying that they support it (offering card plus
remote plus Showshifter for 129.99 USD)

DVB-S http://www.vboxcomm.com/product1.htm
DVB-T http://www.vboxcomm.com/product2.htm
(page 3 is for USA)

Israeli company - and the UK contact number appears to be a mobile
phone number!

Another interesting one is at
http://www.scmmicro.com/dvb/terrestrial.html -- a PC Card as
distinct from a PC card.

The page mentions PC software, but it's reported elsewhere that
the card will also be offered with the Mac PowerBook software by
www.elgato.com

Right, thanks. I'll wait until it's available through more well-known
distributors rather than via mobile phone numbers.
