TVonics makes a lot of boasts on its website about the usability and versatility of the MDR-250 and we’re pleased to say that it lives up to them. People getting into Freeview for the first time will absolutely love this unit, as it makes all of the platform’s features easily accessible and goes about its daily TV tasks with pleasing slickness. What’s more, the inclusion of SCART outputs and an RF modulator means you can watch digital TV on any type of TV no matter how old it is, and with so many ageing TVs still in circulation in the lead up to analogue switch-off, the importance of this fact can’t be overstated. It’s a shame it doesn’t output RGB from both SCARTs and HDMI output would have been nice, but overall this is an excellent digital TV box that offers terrific value for money.

Overall

8/10

Oh the joy, you have no idea how trying to find an RF freeview box or RF anything these days is... my Ferguson 3847 black and white portable TV has been longing to bring itself into the 21st century since its first input being a ZX81 in 1980 it has steadfastly provided 28 years of news and drama in its little black and white screen - welcome to the 21st century Fergie!

I bought several of these boxes and none of them work properly with the standby function. Look at their website under "technical issues" as it is a known issue. Their suggested solution doesn't work other than to turn the box off and then on at the plug. Therefore not really very practical.
