Advantages: User Friendly , recommended by Which Magazine, good picture and sound Disadvantages: Can freeze, no off switch.
The Nokia 221T Mediamaster was recommended to me about five years ago. I looked it up in 'Which' where it was highly rated as well.
I then took the risk of buying one from Dixons at Oxford St London, who undertook to let me return it if it didn't work with my indoor aerial.
I live in a flat in a street property of Islington Council and don't have an outside aerial.
First of all, this must be a strong signal area, because the box set up most available freeview channels at once. Secondly, it was a pleasure to achieve that, from start to finish. You can flip through all the channel names by pressing the navigation button, press select, and the chosen channel appears, you can see what's on now and next and the time briefly as you do this, which is helpful, then while that is on you can get more details about the current programme by ...

I looked at the key work and padding. It is extremely well-made and will last for a long time. The sound produced is rich and it ...
When looking for a Freeview set-top box towards the end of 2002 I settled on the Nokia Mediamaster 221T, despite it being the most expensive box on the market. It had good reviews, a nice design and the Nokia name.
When working it was fine, although needing frequent reboots (unplugging, as no on/off switch), and not very responsive to the remote control. However, after about 20 months it failed completely - would not power on.
After talking with Nokia I discovered that they wouldn,t repair my box, I'd have to buy a refurbished replacement costing around £50, with which I'd get a 3 months warranty.
Needless to say I'd rather spend my money on a new model and it certainly won't be from Nokia ...
