The first Freeview HD box to offer BBC iPlayer access
3D interface ; Hi-def pictures ; BBC iPlayer service ; Common Interface slot
SD pictures from Freeview ; Flimsy remote
Most new brands dip a foot in the UK consumer market, but Advanced Digital Broadcast's (ADB) debut product is full-throttle Freeview HD – and with BBC iPlayer to boot, the i-CAN Easy HD 2851T is a mighty tempting piece of kit on paper.

You may want to purchase an i-CAN if you are one of those people who bought your HDTV just before manufacturers started building in Freeview HD tuners. Or you might be in the market for decent sports coverage without an unsightly dish, or because you...
Superb results from SD and HD Freeview channels; ready for pay-TV
iPlayer support not HD; no multimedia playback or USB recording

Wow - a Freeview HD receiver that does other stuff! Not only does this debut box from ADB feature a cutting-edge DVB-T2 tuner, but it also sports an interface for the BBC iPlayer - and a quite magnificent one, at that. Featuring two stunning interfaces...
BBC iPlayer interface, Freeview HD menus, high-def pictures, price
SD pictures, basic remote, iPlayer menus can be slow to load
Featuring two stunning interfaces for both BBC iPlayer and Freeview HD, it's initially hard to find fault with the i-Can. Though a pleasure to use with impressive hi-def images, the i-Can nevertheless falls at the final hurdle by proffering very...

Got off to a bumpy start with this product, but because my viideo, dvd recorder and tv didn't have digital tuners, a freeview box seemed the most favoureable so I could keep using them. Plus the added option of the bbc Iplayer was a bonus.

The set-up is quite straight forward, I did need to re-start the process once though before the channels tuned in. No built-in WiFi I had expected but luckily I had a spare wireless network adaptor that I could plug in and it worked okay, it even takes...

Excellent box. Works in ireland so i can get the soarview no problem. Its half the price of the soarview boxes being sold in ireland at the moment. Very good purchase and would recommend it.

Thirty pounds lets you try HD and iPlayer on your TV. Thirty pounds! Okay, so the box isn't as sophisticated as offerings from Humax, et al....and tech support is akin to handing a cigarette to a man who's on fire....but hey. It's THIRTY QUID. It...

Got this for an old TV for my parents, been looking for a unit for a while and the reviews on this one were positive. Very surprised when it arrived, a lovely little unit with stylish simple menus and EPG, a good snappy response. Very surprised the...
Consumer review (ebuyer.com)
A seven year old Philips freeview box died, the crt tv was ok and fits a unit that none of the new tv units fit. Box does sd and hd. So ok for our needs since standalone freeview replacement boxes are becoming rare as there now in the tv rather than in...

I received this set top box today having ordered from Play. Com and this has arrived in superfast time. It arrived at 0900hrs and was so easy to set up, it was up and running within 10 minutes which included the internet connection for the i Player....
