Probably the best Freeview HD Box June 13, 2010

I bought this box from Argos and done some testing to see the results.
This is probably the best Freeview HD Box but as all other boxes it has some small issues and an update is needed.
Good Points:
- Very Good Quality on HD channels ( 70% signal); I think this is the best quality I've seen on a HD Freeview Box.
(better than the Humax and Panasonic)
- All Freeview SD and HD channels + Radio stations; no need to change between Freeview boxes.
- Real 1080p output ( I tried on LG 32 inch which accept 1080p input, then compress the image - very clear )
- HDMI lead included
- TV cable included ( RF cable)
- TV out(RF out)to connect to your TV so there is no need for a separate splitter to connect your TV; it works even when the box is not plugged to power ( RF loop through) - Very Good Feature
- Very easy Menu and Guides ( really easy for all Dummies)
- Very Good Design and sturdy box; ON light is cool blue and not annoying red or orange which may create discomfort on low light in the room.
Many other cool features and pieces ( Ethernet, USB, Subtitles,Audio Descritpion (AD), Digital Text, Dolby Sound...etc)
Bad Points:
- Same anoying problems with the sound when changed from SD channels to HD ones; Loud on SD & low on HD.
- The Menu is cool but bit slow.
Edit ( Update ): This two "bad points" happens JUST when Audio Output is set to Dolby. In the Manual is CLEARLY stated that if Dolby Sound is selected and the Channel doesn't support it then there is NO Sound; well if you press the AD function ON and OFF the sound comes ON even with Dolby selected. So these two "bad points" are due to Dolby Sound selection and is nothing wrong with the box.
- AD function need to be turned On/Off each time when HD channel is changed.
- Volume button gets stuck on one point.
I'm keen for the next Software Update...until then I'll do more tests and maybe come back with some feedback; The best point for this box is the Quality and the user friendly menu + remote.
After more testing and comparing with other boxes this box is worth 5 stars and not 4; Don't forget to read the Manual front to cover, especially Special Notes.
