Sluggish channel changes ; Remote isn't great

Cheaper option but effective

I ought this after a cheaper chinese set top box was stolen. Seems to work reasonably well, although you need to set summer time on the box, as is it not that intuitive. Also recording to the PVR can be problematic, and you have to make some...
