    Probably a stupid question, but do these boxes have a scart input so that I could record stuff off my NTL box?

  • No - you can only record from the internal digital tuner.
  • Humax do make a cable box pvr.

    But sadly you would have to pressurise NTL or Telewest to market them.

    Could someone pelase explain how easy it would be to add a further (or replaceement HD into the Humax). I have got as far as installing PCI cards and a DVD-RW into my desktop. Is it more difficult / fiddly than that ?

    It's a lot easier than trying to get a 3.5 inch drive into a Pace Twin - http://www.avforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-111171.html

    BTW it's easy putting a 2.5 inch drive into a Pace Twin - just expensive.
