Product Description
Identify a spare scart socket on your television and push the adaptor fully into it. Connect the remote extender to the adaptor and locate it at the front or side of your tv, it has a sticky pad. This allows the remote control to operate the Freeview adaptor even though it is behind your television. Connect your aerial cable to the aerial socket on the adaptor. Finally plug in the mains power supply and connect the DC lead to the power socket on the adaptor. Select the appropriate AV mode of your television and use the remote control to set up the Freeview adaptor and do a service scan.
** Also use this adaptor to convert a VCR or DVD recorder to receive and record Freeview channels.
**There is 3.5mm stereo jack socket for audio output. This means you can feed the audio signal from the adaptor to your existing amplifier if you have a TV without speakers or a home cinema system. This feature is not included on any other Freeview boxes of this type on the market.

Could not wish for better, easy to install, in fact it installs itself very quickly. I only have a cheap loft aerial fot the tv i am using it on but it worked perfectly, no blips or buzzing or loss of picture, as a matter of fact the picture is 100% perfect. I would recommend this little creature to anyone who wants a small neat digi box.

I've been thinking about getting a set top box for our old bedroom tv for a while, but all the cheaper ones looked a bit naff. I liked the idea of something just tucked into the back of the SCART socket behind the TV. It arrived in next to no time, and set up and installation took at most 2-3 minutes, then another couple of minutes to scan the channels. We're running it through an old (15 years) portable arial and it gives better images than we were getting on analogue from a fixed arial. Looking forward to when we run a cable down from the room arial to the room as I imagine it's going to give us even more channels and better signals on the few channels where there is drop out - any loss of signal is down to our old cheap arial.
Digital radio recention - flawless! I can see me getting another one of these for the kitchen TV next. Hidden away all you see is the little electronic eye which glows a gentle red so you know it's on.

Supplied swiftly and efficiently. I was apprehensive about the performance of Freeview receivers generally. They have not had a good press. This little item impressed from the start, being ease and simplicity itself to set up. In the event, the performance has been flawless, producing an excellent picture and sound quality and being easy to operate. The only thing which caught me on the hop was how few of the channels boasted to be available on Freeview were present. This is NOT, it turns out, a criticism of the box, it is down to what is available on the local transmitter. Other channels will become available, but no indication of or promises about when that will be......
 Good box but no MHEG March 29, 2010

This was supplied by Express Pro - delivery rapid, so no issues there. However, the product is not as advertised, as it has no Konig (or any) branding and has different sockets from the photo (appears to be Ex-Pro Scart Digibox Freeview Receiver & Recorder).
The unit is very small, and has fair instructions (though very small print). Once connected into our old 14" telly, it found our local Freeview channels quickly, and was ready to use. My only real issue is that it doesn't have MHEG support, so the 'red button' services don't work, though subtitles do. But if you want loads of technical info about which multiplex you're watching/hearing and/or need a fast-acting signal strength meter to assist aerial adjustment, then this is ideal.
Overall a good buy for a second set.
*Update* After 3 days, the picture became jittery and unstable - this rapidly became so bad to be unusable. Returned to Ex-Pro and replaced without fuss - new unit works OK so far. Both old and new units had quirks though, e.g. subtitles are always enabled on power-up even after you switch them off; some channels don't work after being in standby, requiring full power off/on cycle.
Compact and very effective May 16, 2010

Used with bedroom TV to get Freeview. Amazingly small but entirely effective. What a contrast with its predecessor which had wires everywhere and didn't work from one day to the next. Highly recommended.
