    PVR = Personal Video Recorder

    Basically a box with Freeview and a hard disc in it that lets you record programs, pause them and rewind them etc. Liek Sky+ or V+ from Virgin
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Thanks BS - I was intrigued. Now I'm tempted. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm currently working for ASDA, but not yet qualified for staff discount. And we've already got five 'remotes' another one will just confuse me further.

    Hi all,

    Hi samtheman

    I cant find one on the Asda website at the price you quoted.

    I can find one at £137.00 or thereabouts. Have a look at the following link and scroll down to the bottom of the page

    Hi all

    At £80.00 it would be interesting to know which features is has (or has not)

    If it has twin tuners this sounds good. I have a Goodmans DVR which is in continuous use. Twin tuners allow you to record 2 programs at the same time (eg itv 7pm plus bbc4 7pm) whilst watching a third. Don't know how We lived without it (How sad is that)

    Hi all

    A decent EPG (electronic program guide) and the ability to set a 'series link' would be of value as well
