Good.
One less rottenbox on the market.

'Fraid not.
Thomson has bought their DTT and DSat boxes...

Actually if not overheated due to unventailated cabinet the Grundigs are fine. Not quite high enough temp rating on PSU capacitors, but even a panny or pace will die in an airless TV cabinet / stand.

My first reel to reel tape recorder was a Grundig battery portable in same year as "Snoopy & the Red Baron" and Monkee's "Last train to Clarksville" in charts. Aye, lads, Charts was charts in them days, arr.

And 208 was the only Pop radio station.

OMG, that's an ugly box

I don't have any experience of Grundig Sky Digiboxes (around here they are almost all Pace or Panasonic) but our old analogue Receiver was a Grundig STR 1 - and a good piece of kit at that, even for a Pace clone.

I still have a Grundig TV from 9 years ago that has never had a problem, and Grundig TV's about here have a good second hand market because they are reliable. Also have a Grundig Yacht Boy Radio which is also good & sensitive.:)

I've just had a look at the Thomson Box... Holy Jesus!:eek: I know Thomson like simple designs but this is just too simple...

i think it would look better in the cardboard box
