Cheapest DVB-T STB?

I spend a lot of time searching for and reading about DVB-T receivers and one of the things that I've noticed is how the prices just keep on falling. The biggest DVB-T market at the moment in terms of receivers sold is the UK, where the latest figures show that almost 19 million Freeview receivers of various shapes and sizes have now been sold. Naturally this has had an impact on the prices of receivers there. So I've just used price comparison site Kelkoo to try to find out what the cheapest basic DVB-T receiver is. And the winner is: the Luxor CDST900.

Now I'd love to show you a photo of this box, but try as I might I can't find one. I can find photos of Luxor TVs, so I know the brand exists, but I guess this box has just come to market now. The websites list is as having the following specs:

Plug and Play
Digital Text
2 x Scart sockets
Remote contol

...which is indeed very basic. But hey, at UK£ 23.99 (or about 35 €UR) who's complaining?!!

Do you know of a cheaper DTT set-top box (retail price, anywhere in the world)? Let me know...
