Want to buy my mum a hard drive recorder so she can record things like x-factor:rotfl:etc when shes out
Been looking on ebay and not sure what is good/bad
Main points:
TV she has already has built in freeview (but no freeview box)
Its got to be easy to use!
Only need to record one channel at a time
Preferably under £50
any advice please? thanks

Best and easiest is Humax.
Nearest I could get to £50 is a Grade A direct from Humax.
