Default Freeview box with hdmi/dvi/vga

Hey

I've been thinking about buying a cheap monitor with speakers for my xbox 360. It has HDMI and VGA inputs and I have seen a cheap HDMI to DVI cable I could buy if needed. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to getting freeview on this (as cheaply as possible and without needing to use a satelite dish).

Thanks!

You could get a freeview set top box with a HDMI input (you would have to keep swapping the cable between your XBox 360 and box unless you use a HDMI switch). It's a pity you aren't connecting a PS3 to the monitor or you could have bought a freeview add-on for it.

I would not mind having to switch cables. The only problem is that I can't find a freeview box with hdmi for a reasonable price (most seem to be over £100!).
