2 out of 5 stars Great product to start with....   March 12, 2008
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

Easy to set up, great to use for 2 weeks.
Lying in bed at mid-night watching TV, switched TV off and left on stand-by - oh no my Carbon footprint!!! 3am the Roadstar powers up on its own, switches my TV on full volume causing me to take a header out of bed and the dog to jump out of his skin and earned me a slap from the missus. Checked settings, this checks for updates at 3am unless you choose not to. I had chosen not too yet at 3am and now 3pm it turns itself on. I now have to unplug when not using - not at all satisfactory. Apart from the poltergeist tendencies it is a great product but that is enough to knock off 3 stars, I'm afraid.

All appeared to work well, the unit set itself up and worked fine for two days. The plug top power supply then went faulty and the unit ceased to function.
Returned the unit to Amazon.

Just recieved this set-top box , it was well packed in the box, plugged it in and connected to the tv and ariel in about 5 minutes , easy to set up (just choose type of tv and then let it search for the channels and thats it) and it works great.

This is a tasty piece of design: a small footprint, a quality finish, all parts well packaged, an easy to understand manual and a dream to set up. Of the several freeview boxes I've set up this was by far the easiest, and unlike some instruction manuals, what is written is what happens when you step through the set-up procedure.


5 out of 5 stars Nice piece of kit   November 1, 2007

This is not the cheapest Freeview box around but it more than justifies the price with its high quality finish, good picture and supplied accessories. The DVB2012T is supplied with a car (12v) adapter and a magnetic aerial for watching Freeview in the car. The box itself is very compact and slim although the remote control is also on the small side if you have very chubby fingers. I did not have any problems setting it up to my nearest (the unit says Crystal Palace) transmitter.

In summary....very satified, thanks Amazon!
