    PVR with DVD for mother in law

    I'm looking for a Humax type freeview DVR box for the mother in law that has a DVD player built in. Needs to be of decent spec and up-to-date features such as live tv pause and so on. Not sure if such boxes have series link or is that just a Sky thing?

    Budget is around £150-200, doesn't need HD, twin tuner isn't necessary but if it has it then that's a bonus, must be HDMI not SCART, doesn't need a huge hard drive as she doesn't record that much. Must be a one-box solution, seperate DVD player is a no-no.

    Any ideas?

    Not really sure of which boxes to recommend, but if it's got the freeview plus logo on it it should do series link.

    Having said that however, the series link data provided by some of the broadcasters leaves a lot to be desired (FIVE in particular, who claim that their data should be used for test purposes only!?)
