Feb 2012 Just because the nation went digital, doesn’t mean that people who want to watch digital have to ditch their freeview. Far from it. Most, if not all, modern freeview receivers are built to accept the digital signal: they just don’t show all the channels, same as ever. Digital freeview boxes give viewers access to the majority of channels commonly watched by everyone, for that usual one time payment. Extra channels can be purchased as necessary – though usually, the ones that “come with” the box are quite enough to be going on with.

Digital freeview boxes come in a price rage almost as wide as the selection of channels one finds after turning them on. A person can get digital freeview boxes for less than the cost of a night out (pretty sound economics for a student or young professional, then); or go all the way up the price ladder and pick up the same kind of kit in a fancy package for nearly £100. There are some differences, of course – digital freeview boxes at the bottom end of the scale generally only last for a year or so, and are much more prone to signal problems; while boxes that cost a more normal sum of money (around £40, say) tend to perform better and with more stability.

Even so, a digital freeview box that gives its owner instant access to the most common digital channels for less than £15 is not to be sniffed at. Particularly for the student, or young person who tends to move frequently: and for whom a piece of technology that lasted more than a year would probably be pointless.  Cheap digital freeview boxes enable everyone to watch the shows everyone else is talking about, at school, university, or work; whilst also allowing them to avoid the pitfalls of extensive (or expensive) contracts.

Think of them as though they were mobile phones. A person only really needs a swanky phone with a big contract when he or she is in the kind of financial position that makes the actual amount of a phone bill immaterial. Anyone who needs to worry about the figures contained in that monthly envelope is probably better off going for a pay and go item: where they know in advance how much money they have spent, or can spend. Digital freeview boxes work by the same principle. You don’t get all the channels and you don’t get all the bells and whistles – but you do get the same service, in a bare bones sort of way, for a sum paid just once.

Digital freeview boxes, like their analogue predecessors, bring the variety and choice of multi-channel TV to everyone – for as little or as much as they want to pay. In today’s financial climate, that’s excellent news for a lot of people.
