Recordable freeview box recommendations

mrscb

Hi.. Trying to sort the in laws tv services out.. They signed up to basic youview essentials not realising the box didn't record... So they aren't using it and using their old one which is on its last legs..
If possible they want one that can record 2 channels( not essential) they are happy with the channels and a new box is all they want( and be easy to use!) up to around £125 but cheaper would be better.
They don't want contracts with anything and only have aerial at the property.
Any help would be great
thanks

Hi. Just inform TalkTalk they wanted the recordable YouView box and take it from there.

It's double the price per month and probably have to pay toward the box..
They just want to buy a new box outright so that's what they will get!!
Just want them to get a decent one.. They signed up to youview without letting us check it out first and by then it was too late..

I bought a reconditioned BT youview box which records 2 channels from Ebay for £80, it's a humax. I'm not a youview subscriber, it works fine

Buy a managers special Humax box from Humax Direct, get a YouView one if the In laws want catch up.

As above, only one sensible choice; the Humax YouView box.
