Wharfedale 160GB PVR Argos £75.00

powertron

Picked one of these up today during my lunch break.

Fantastic value for money.

According to the reviews it's the greenest PVR on the market. Twin tuner, though you can only record one channel at a time but you can watch another. Built by Sony, identical to the tvonics box but about half the price. Incredibly small and solid metal.

I got one of these at the weekend, and it's very impressive for the price.

Thanks for this. We've just reserved one for my Gran (the silver surfer). She'll be really chuffed - she has been after one for ages
