Spanish Digibox?
 
Hi all,

We have 2 UK portable TV's and have decided to use them in the bedrooms as they take up so much storage room! Can only get a couple of local channels so we assume that we need a box to switch to digital TV signal?

Can anyone confirm this and approx how much to buy a digibox here.

Thank you!

2 TV's, different bedrooms you may need a box for each unless both TV's close and 1 box has other outputs.
Old type antenna will work but new "rabbit ears" one better.
Seen them for 18e but has been said seen DVD player + digi for 22e
