Cancelled Sky, should I now get a pvr?

8.8K Posts


My Sky subscription has now been fully cancelled, but I know I'm going to really miss being able to record to watch later & fast forward etc. through adverts that I've been doing for over 7yrs with the Sky+ box. Perhaps in the future they will send me an offer too good to miss to come back to them, but I'm not banking on it.
I've signed up with Now Tv & taken a 3month entertainment pass. This will at least give me access to the All4 channel that wasn't available with my Sky contract, however it would be ideal to still be able to record programmes & zip through any adverts. So I'm thinking a pvr might be ideal for me but I know so little about them I'm hoping to get advise here as to what might suit. I'd still like to be able to record at least 2 programmes at any one time.
I think there might be tv's out there that have a recording facility too these days, so should I be considering changing my tv instead? My current tv must be about 12yrs old now, with just 2 hdmi slots, should that be important.

The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

Do you not need a super duper aerial to run 4 tuners off it?

No special aerial (I’ve just got a regular aerial in the loft that was here when we bought the house 20 years ago) I just connected it to the aerial splitter box/gadget that is plugged into the wall 🤷🏻♀️
