Basic Freeview hdd recorder
Clearlier
Forumite 168 Posts
I'm looking to purchase a freeview HDD recorder but am not sure where to start.
Is anybody aware of any comparison guides?
I'm not looking for anything fancy. Something that can record one channel while I watch another, that's quiet and costs next to nothing
. The quiet bit is probably the trickiest. I have difficulty zoning out the noise from loud fans.

Neither cost next to nothing-but you won't regret paying a bit more for the best PVR on the market.
Cheapest as refurbs from Humax Direct, or at Richer Sounds.

Box £60 - £70
£59 here http://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/product.asp?ProdRef=10101
USB drive , depends on size , but youmay have one hanging around or even an old 3.5" hd you can just pop into a £5 caddy !!!
I prefer this as its a HD freeview box !!
or if you want with HD

For comparisons look on the digitalspy forums or pvr junction (although this seems to be down at the moment)
very nice piece of kit, the absolute best is a topfield but they are loads more expensive, buy an ultra cheap one at your peril
i bought a freeview box in 2005, every time one broke i took it back, got a refund and bought another one in a different store, the same £40 kept me in freeview boxes till i bought the humax in 2010
