Performance is the same as a generic set top DVB-S2 box. It is an incredibly useful thing to have. Most countries around the world have problems with hills, mountains, forests, jungles and interference from distant transmitters. DTT is great in cities e.g. in Italy the old forests of Band II, III and IV/V antenna on long masts have been replaced by unobtrusive single log periodics on short thin masts. Outside the cites the all in one T2/S2 TV gets the most transmissions using one remote contol. Sadly in the UK the sh*theads in charge think it is ok to have lots of transmitters with 3 muxes 'Freeview light', if they advertised all in one T2/S2 Freeview/Freesat TVs it would make millions of peoples live easier.It also helps to avoid the awful news analysis which is now the norm in the UK. Today there is a problem in a country beside the Middle East and the UK channels are babbling a fountain of utter crap about 'merica and its agreements and 'merica is a watchin' blah blah blah. It doesn't help that some of this crap comes from a BBC propaganda channel that we pay for with our taxes. The politicans all watch that rubbish, you can see why they thought a second war in an ajacent country would be quick and easy, if we took this flow of garbage seriously we would have believed that idiocy as well. On other channels you get proper analyis like the agreement was brokered by the EU (obviously if you think about it), long standing economic problems, long standing enemies on their borders, etc etc.Once you get used to it you will miss the convenience when you use a different TV. Especially when you are forced to watch the things you avoid because you know they are second rate.Enjoy <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
