If you’re quick – before midnight today (8th March), you can pick up a FreeviewHD bargain.
The Icecrypt T2200 Freeview HD box is on offer at Play.com for £59.99. It’s a pretty respectable bit of kit, though it lacks Dolby Transcoding. Once you’ve got one, you’ll find some beta firmware here, which allows you to record to a USB hard disk.
You may want to read my review on RegHardware.
Wow. Was just about buy until I saw it lacks Dolby Transcoding.
The review (20th May 2010) states “Dolby transcoding is being looked at”, I guess they looked at it, then didn’t bother.
Thanks for the tip, Nigel. Have just ordered one, looks like what I need to dip my toe into the HD world 🙂
gutted just seen your post, back to 109.99 now 🙁
Hello Nigel, Please have you any idea when there will be an upgrade for T2200 to enable internet connection,thank you Bernard Bonsor
Can you clarify exactly what you mean by internet connection? The most you’re likely to get, as far as I’m aware, is the iPlayer, and I shall try to find out about plans for that as soon as I can.
Hi Nigel,
Any news on the iplayer for this please?
