| Best Digital PVR Guys, I've had enough of missing TV - I don't want a subscription based model - such as Sky+ However, what's the best one on the market - I want to record freeview, and well freesat if there is a sensible option. I don't want something which is a 'project' to maintain - I want to turn it on and use it.... Here is one which was recommended to me earlier : http://www.sony.co.uk/product/dvd-recorder/rdr-hxd1095 David |

| Re: Best Digital PVR As you like the new kit DR, how about the BlueRay recorder from Panasonic? Pricey, but a featureset second to none...  ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ. |

You won't get a HD signal through the Sony though My Intel 805D at 4.5ghz Spi 1m stable H3XU5 Social FAQ My App - HotUkDeals for Windows Mobile Originally Posted by tiggerai

| Re: Best Digital PVR If it's not too late, have a look at the Topfield 5800 or 5810 (about £215). It'll only do Freeview not freesat. What I love the most about it is that you can install alternative EPGs and user interfaces - the free MyStuff (which you just download, connect the PVR to your PC with USB, and run an ordinary Windows installer) makes it pretty much perfect for me. |
