These are currently available from itechworld on Ebay for $50 incl postage if anyone is interested.

Did you know, all pensioners are to get a free top set box from the govt. Its on the centrelink website.

If you live in a area that is marginal at best , dont get mixed up with digi box and a sat box.. look careful...Bob n Bev

Probably be the el-cheapo model knowing the government. The Strong is a good brand I hear with all the bells & whistles. They were $150 a while ago. I have the satellite set-up Bob but refuse to pay $150 for a new card to access free-to-air, especially when you then have to apply to gain access to 7 & 9. It's too limited. There is a new platform coming around the end of the year according to SatPlus called VAST which is Freeview via satellite & is portable for $495 including everything. I've put in my order for that system in preference to the others.

Dougie just sent you a pm

Strong box only standard definition so fairly useless

get a high def 240-12v Magnavox for $49 Warehouse, GoLo, Crazy Clarkes
Magnavox superior receiver to Strong and better software for travellers

Hi Paul , Is that a sat.box ? or just a tv digi box??? Bob n BEV

Here is the link Paul should have given http://www.telstra.com.au/tbox/index.html What are the data download costs like when you are watching TV?

which is better for the out back , rural areas , say travelling around WA? if i get my campervan , could i put a small sat dish on the roof? or would a set top box be better? how do the sat ones work are they the same?
