Well from my view, i guess its totally useless! I receive a few extra channels but yet no bollywood/hindi type available for free... ok, for most people its not a big problem, but yet again, its not really worth it...But on the other hand, it all depends on you.
If you have sky digital already, then i guess theres no big deal, as you have soo many hundreds of channels to view already and those channels will keep you busy throughout the entire day anyway.
Research more and find advantages/disadvantages on Freeview before deciding to purchasing it. All the best!

The official Freeview site will only say you can receive the service if your area is covered by all channels. There are 6 multiplexes broadcasting 4-8 channels each (each multiplex has its own UHF channel number), and due to limitations in the spectrum, some multiplexes are transmitted at a greatly reduced power so as not to interfere with current analogue signals.

I Got a JVC Scart splitter..and they are rubbish..really effects picture quality (or at least both I tried did) I found it is better to get a Freeview box with a with a scart in at the back and just run your xbox/gamecube through it..works much better on mine...I got a Hitachi box from argos for £45..but there is a one at Aldi, that despite being a less famous brand has all the features (interactive etc) for £30-35!
As for freeview its self..not that great..but it does give you digital picture quality which was good for me as the analogue reception was sketchy!!
Hope this has been of some use!

The DTR2? It's ok. Does what it needs to. Good remote sensor so you don't have to point in the direction ofthe box and has the audio out which you usually only get on oneswhich cost way over £40.
