Anybody heard of a 'Freeview Scart'? Apparently this can be used instead of a set-top box - just stick it into the scart socket.

Moved your post to a better area.
Yes, this is just a very small Freeview receiver with built-in scart plug. They usually have a separate "eye" which you position somewhere towards the front of the TV so that you can use a remote control with it.
I'm not too sure but I think that some might even be able to take their 12v power from the scart socket - this would certainly cut down on cables.
Apart from that I think you might find them a bit too lacking in features.

I tried one from Aldi a while ago but it complained of low signal level

The ones I've came across and installed had very poor DVB tuners.
