ebay probably.

You have 2 choices, a Freesat box that will give you on screen freesat guide or much cheaper the little receivers that come with the suitcase sat systems that will get the channels but not the guide.

Your talking £100 or £25 at a guess.

But wait a minute, a 12V Freesat box, that might be hard to find and pricey.

Not free SAT but free to air in my case would that explain why I get a guide on my RV free to air box but not on my home TVoh:
is it the boxs that generate the EPG???

Don't know, but John does.

I could have answered freesat - it grabs a program guide off a different satellite - that's why the general purpose receivers don't get it.

We were setup again with digital TV. They produced thousands of set top boxes then the transmission authority changed the spec, adding more channels which a load of earlier boxes could not decode.
