Q Different set-top boxes work better than others in receiving a Freeview signal. This is easily rectified by changing boxes. It's a different story if you need to return a bulky, expensive television. How should one go about assessing a TV with a built-in Freeview decoder?
Richard Price, Boulton Moor, Derbyshire

A Over to a Freeview spokesperson: "Digital products differ in design, as manufacturers focus on different features to distinguish their boxes in a competitive market. But all Freeview products - digiboxes or integrated Freeview TVs - are tested to industry standards to ensure they deliver the service. A higher-priced product from a reputable brand will often give better performance and be easier to use, with a higher level of product support.

"For people in areas where Freeview coverage is limited, your local electrical retailer should be able to advise you which product is most suitable for you. We also recommend looking at www.ricability-digitaltv.org.uk - a website that has done independent product testing."
