I've got a Mico freeview box from Asda, and it's a worthless pile of junk. Every time I press a key on the remote it takes at least 5 seconds to respond, up to several minutes on occasion. It freezes up at least once a day . It freezes up every time I try to use Text. Sometimes the picture jumps, sometimes the sounds goes. I'm getting fed up with reaching down the back of the TV cabinet and pulling the mains plug several times a day. :-HB
Also, when I go into the weather on teletext and select "South East" (or anywhere else), it shows me the weather map of Scotland. Is this normal on freeview or yet another bug in this crappy box.
So, I'm looking for a replacement. Can anybody recommend me a good and cheap freeview box? I don't need anything fancy, I just want one that actually works properly.
Also, does anyone know of any alternative software that I could load onto the Mico to make it work better? Surely it must be a clone of something else.
