    It doesn't seem to be really on HUKD - I wasted two whole minutes searching. The original poster only made a link to a photo. I presume it costs whatever these boxes cost and you don't have to pay these ridiculous monthly fees for just one month then presumably you do and you probably have to subscribe to top up tv as well.

    ah, it's ninety quid. To be fair, it's cheaper by £10 than anywhere else on google shopping. But don't you get tied into a contract?

    you will need an aerial

    It will work as a freeview recorder without signing up for top-up TV

    After reading some of the reviews on Amazon I think the only issue with this box is that it is a little noisy.

    I bought this a few weeks ago when it was £119.99 in Argos (now £129.99). It's fine as a stand-alone PVR if you don't want to subscribe to TopUpTV (don't bother putting in the card when you set it up).

    Any problems that you might comeacross have probably been discussed here - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=123&page=1&pp=30&sort=lastpost&order=desc&daysprune=-1

    Well, I tried one a year ago intending to give to my father in law for his birthday, didn't work at all for me when I tested it out, missed all the recordings I set so I returned it to tesco. Got a cheaper PVR from Asda, works a treat and he was really pleased with it.
