Clarity CSTBHD1 - Freeview Set Top Box 1080P with HDMI and Scart, Digibox Digital TV Receiver with Multimedia Player PVR, 150+ Channels

This seems to get a good, simple set top box that works with an old TV that only has a SCART socket. It has no unnecessary frills. Easy to set up and use, works well on our fairly poor TV signal.

Great little digital tuner. I’ve paired this with my projector so that I can access TV on the odd occasion I need to. Found 174 channels and around 28 radio channels as well. Super small, so it can be tucked away. Easy to tune in and navigate through the menus. Great value for money

For occasionally recording one station on to a memory stick while watching another this machine is great. Had it for 3 weeks and the picture quality through my Lg OLED tv is perfect. Note: You need to have it turned on all of the time though if your aerial is rooted through the box to your tv. Also it took me a while to find an auto timer in the menu and turn it to off. Otherwise it turns itself off after 3 hours. The set up instructions are rubbish but it did manage to automatically find 225 Freeview stations and 67 radio - unfortunately most were duplicates of each other from other regions. But the quality was brilliant.

My fairly old TV can do HD TV from USB & HDMI, but not from the internal tuner! This box does present HD TV very well on my TV, but there are some annoying niggles. My TV remote does random things to the box! Volume up is seen by the box as a '3' button, for instance. The codes for the TV are not the same as those for the box - I've checked with a tool I have. The box is clearly not checking the codes well. The HD channel volume is lower than normal channels - not sure if this is an issue with the box or transmission. So, in HD I turn the TV volume up and see the bogus '3's appear! I may wind up on channel 3 and have to change back. The EPG flips channels as you scroll through it, so you can't browse without channel change. The channel shouldn't change until you right-arrow or press OK on it. Additionally, the box locks up on occasion, generally when I select another source for the TV. It doesn't respond to the remote, and seems to turn video on and off once per second. The RF loop through doesn't work if the box is in stand by, so the box has to be on to watch TV.

Very shaky picture, very choppy sound. 100% useless box. Returned. The seller received the Royal Mail 48h TRACKED return parcel very quickly, as expected. Amazon had to INTERVENE for me to finally later, MUCH later, receive a refund for this PRIME purchase. In addition to everything else, the seller tried to make me PAY for returning this non-working, substandard device. I asked Amazon to help me. After Amazon's first intervention, the seller just sent me a pointless message talking nonsense about the 'code' of the return parcel, which THEY RECEIVED LONG TIME EARLIER, to still postpone sending the refund to me. Since the seller did not give me a refund, I asked again Amazon for help. Amazon customer service assistant Ravi kindly issued me a FULL refund. I had to ask Amazon TWICE to help. Unheard of. Awful seller, great Amazon customer service. Do NOT buy this inferior device, do NOT buy anything from this untrustworthy seller. Stay away from both. After making the mistake of buying this Clarity box, I purchased an A***st D**482 Freeview Set Top Box Recorder (nicely with twin TV tuners). Works beautifully. Happy days. :-)

I’ve had this a few days now and it seems really good, and certainly amazing value. Set up is very straightforward - the box picked up all the freeview stations v easily. Picture quality is good too. Organising the channels list is a bit cumbersome but doesn’t take too long. I’ve put a 128gb flash drive in and it’s working well - recordings are pretty easy from the seven day EPG and it also recognises lots of different file types so you can play music, look at photos etc. It even plays music saved in iTunes on a Mac which is pretty impressive as a lot of non-Mac devices don’t recognise them. Altogether a very good piece of kit - v pleased with this item, especially for the money. A few months on and still happy with this product. Found a way to delete programmes from the external drive too. Still working v well.

So small but very efficient, found 154 channels, I wanted it for my projector in the bedroom. Happy days ( nights)

Good value and works well.
