Recomend me a cheapish Freeview plus box please.

OK, so maybe cancelling Sky plus was a false economy, because I miss the live pause and record features of my sky plus box.

So can anyone recomend me a freeview plus box? The cheaper the better!

Humax 9300T is IMHO the best PVR on the market, though not the cheapest.
But since the HD Freeview version is coming in a couple of months, you might want to hold off for a while.

He wants "cheap". The HD version won't be cheap. Take a look at Humax's own web site. They sell refurbished receivers at a good discount. I got a 9200T a couple of years ago and it has been excellent with very few "glitches".

You can pay Sky 10 pounds a month for the recording and pausing live tv facilities.

I do that, i don't subscribe to any tv packages.

What is your budget?

Freesat+ might be another option as you already have the dish and cables.

The Humax PVR is a wonderful piece of kit.
Cheaper than a years Sky subs, but still quite expensive though.

My daughter is in the process of dropping down to this, she has a HD box in the lounge and a Sky+ box in a bedroom. Will she be able to record on both boxes or just the HD box?

nordtraveller

Both boxes can record, but it will be ten pounds for each! (if she wants the recording facilities on both)

When it come to freeview boxes, I certainly wouldn't go for what's the cheapest. Many cheap boxes (in my experience) have poorly designed menus or slow menus. If your looking to keep the box for a few years, you may find that buying a more expensive box is better in the long run.
