Best Digital PVR

[DR]

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

Humax have a Freesat HD PVR out, that will probably be the best

Or another Humax as a non hd/freeview model

The one you showed was £450 in my local sony store....

The sony you can get for about 320 on Google Shopping..

As you like the new kit DR, how about the BlueRay recorder from Panasonic?

Pricey, but a featureset second to none...

I was just looking at that on the back of Wired....

It's too much at £600...

That is still £60 more than the Humax Freesat HD recorder, is recording to DVD a high priority? Especially when you can pick up a cheap bluray player around that price if upscaled films are that important

You won't get a HD signal through the Sony though

Looks like it's Humax....

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.
