I just need a freeview receiver for an old CRT telly in a rental property. Any suggestions for one that is easy to set up and use?

Doesn't need a recorder or anything, just the receiver.

I bought one in Tesco for £20 last time BT randomly disconnected my broadband and thus TV.

We have had a couple of cheap ones, none that I could recommend though. Have a look see if you can get hold of a 2nd hand Humax - 9200 is a recorder, but there's also a model without the record function for maximum cheapness.

I bought a cheap one from Tesco. I'm only assuming this is due to having bought a cheap freeview box, but after watching it for a while (half hr or so), the sound tends to become very noticeably unsynchronised.
