PVR/Freeview Plus Advice

Thiamin

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a PVR box?

I had a refurbished digifusion one from microdierct and loved it but when I was in uni halls last year I couldn't get the aerial aligned so let my sister borrow it. Now she loves it and won;t give me it back!:rotfl:

I was hoping just to get another digifusion from microdirect but they have none.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend another brand which they have?

Thank you!

Humax are renowned for durability and features it really pays to get a good one had mine now for 4+ years and have a couple more Humax boxes

Havent got this model mine is a older one 9200t but similar spec to mine 160gb will be more than enough for most things I got 50 programs on mine already and its less than 50% full

You can record two programs and watch a 3rd recording in some occasions you can watch a 3rd channel

Hopefully HD will come on freeview end of this year or next this depends on new boxes which can record h.264 which none have appeared yet. Morte channels are in pipeline for freeview to due to mpeg2 compression changing

I concur with savemoney. I have two humax PVRs each with hundreds of hours use and they've never missed a beat.

Humax PVR 9300T gets my vote every time.

Another good brand is topfield it can be customised apparently with some clever software, I haven't used one myself but they are up there with Humax in terms of quality and features

These are high end of market players for freeview
