Can anyone say what kind of digi recorder mine is?

3.6K Posts


I have a digi tv recorder that I love but it's really done for. The hard disk needs constantly to sort itself out and recently required reformatting meaning I lost the library and recordings set. It didn't enjoy moving houses and has been going increasingly downhill since.
I did look online a while ago and couldn;t find anything that did the same thing. The instruction booklet doesn't give a type.
It will record 2 channels at the same time and allow playback from the library.
Could anyone give me a technical name for this so that I can look for another please?
This is my old one

EDIT : I lied, this one has HDMI and SCART https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7865451
Any of the very lates Freeview Play PVRs will do all your old one did and more - except they will use hdmi connections and be capable of recording HD programmes and maybe streaming 4k UHD stuff... but it depends on what TV you have to some extent.
If your current TV hasn't got hdmi connectivity you may have a struggle to find something to work with that. Humax sell refurbished products such as https://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/refurbished/freeview-hd-recorder-hdr-1800t-500gb-refurbished.html which has a scart output.
Humax refurbished items can be almost like new, and relatively cheap.
Manhattan is another brand that has pretty good reviews. https://www.johnlewis.com/search?search-term=pvr

The PO is tiny. Due to close and be relocated again shortly.
But good to be reminded. I'll have a look around today.
So many changes with lockdowns and takeovers here. During lockdown the collection point was 15mls away!
