| set top freeview box I'm looking for a set top PVR freeview box with the card slot, along the lines of a Humax 9200, & I also want to be able to connect to it via my PC to schedule recordings etc, and view them. Anyone have any recommendations? Nox <-- Click 'My System' __________________ Last edited by Nox; 02-08-2006 at 09:11 AM.. |

| Have a look at the Topfield 5800 as I think this is the only one that can connect to a PC. If it can't and you still want one then I'd suggest the Thomson PVR that was on sale at Argos for 100 notes. BTW why do you want to link the PVR to a PC when you can schedule the recordings from the user guide on your TV? |

| Well if you can overcome your laziness then I suggest a far cheaper PVR like the Thomson I recommended  On a practical note you're not going to be able to get a cable long enough to connect the PVR downstairs to your PC cause AFAIK they're all USB. |

| Tivo's have a network (and memory) card add on, i'm suprised they could be the only one out there, and they're discontinued now. And they don't have the card slot. Burger. Nox <-- Click 'My System' __________________ |
