Until now, I had to play daily with my antenna to watch TV without too many “snow” on the screen, the image never being perfect. If the weather was really bad, I had to cope with an image switching from B&W to color each 5s and the sound being cut by “scrrrrchhhh”.

So I decided to buy a digital terrestrial receiver – also known as DVB-T receiver. In Belgium, there are only 5 TV channels available (La Une, La Deux, RTBF Sat, één and Ketnet/Canvas) plus some radio channels (Classic21, PureFM, Studio Brussel, etc). That’s not much compared to other countries like France, but still more than what I had with a simple analog antenna and in a much much much better quality – the image is simply PERFECT, so is the sound!

The receiver is a small box equipped with antenna In and Out (internal loop), SCART output, additional Audio output (connected to my Hi-Fi system which doesn’t have a radio tuner), a remote control, and that’s about it. It’s easily configurable, you can store favourite channels (you get it, with 5 channels, all are my favourites!), see TV programs when supported, and so on. It’s a great deal when you compare the impressive increase in quality and comfort with the price (55€). The only drawback is that I have an additional remote to store!
