I've got a cheapy maplin one with a big dial on the front, it works, but the 
reception isn't great (probably cheap contacts on the switch).

If you want a good quality picture, I'd go for one with push buttons, and 
electronics to do the switching (little lights on the front always look impressive 
too)
