    they should do as they are on sale over here,is ur box off a sat connection or digital aerial on roof,make sure in instructions does it say mpeg 4 which is the new format,as older tvs had mpeg 2 which no longer works.not to be plugged into provider.

    Why don't you just pick the channels you want, and add them to your favourites list. Then you won't have to flick through loads of channels, just get up your favourites and pick the one you want to watch.
