Inverters wast energy, and when you only have a limited 12v supply you don't want to do that

You are showing your age madrat.

Modern solid state inverters are very efficient.

Well i had a good look round the Tesco Extra near me today and theres no £10 Digiboxes to be seen anywhere. The staff have never seen them either

They must think were all too well off round here to need cheap freeview boxes

Since a few available to buy at the local corner shop for £18 tho

Don't care what kind of inverter you use they still wast energy. You never get something for nothing.
