Freeview box with Hard Drive recorder

snoogiewoogie

We are thinking of getting a freeview box with integrated harddrive recorder. Anyone got one of these and if so, are they good, recommendations etc?

i have got a panasonic one with dvd recorder / hd recorder and freeview. also got an sd card slot.

i like it a lot. panasonic aren't the cheapest.
Look at a topfield as these are pretty good, but don't have the dvd recorder on.

Here is a previous thread about freeview boxes with harddrives.

I've just switched to the Humax 9200T from sky plus, whilst not as user friendly as sky its pretty damn good. You can get it from around £185.

The Humax 9200 is a great pvr I have had mine for 10 months now.

Hi
The Topfield 5800 pvr for me, 160gb hd, twin tuner, freeview, excellent build/quality, and perfect reception.
A bit dearer than the Humax though, but highly recommended,
