build your own media center, add a quad core chip, 1tb of RAID disk space and windows 7 with 2 x hauppauge dual tuner cards. Invest in a slingbox and hey presto you have up to 4 channels recorded or 1 watched/3 recorded at any time and you can watch it all on your mobile or from anywhere abroad on your laptop.. that's what I did and it works a treat.

I have a Samsung Sky+ HD box. Whilst it is an OK piece of kit I despise having to pay Sky every month and the box does occasionally hang, needing a reboot/unplug from the wall. The missus insists we have Sky. Given a free hand, I would buy a Freesat HD PVR box by Humax or Topfield.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

and it hangs or mis-records about once a week, most unreliable purchase that I ever made.

My ultra-cheap LitOn recorder has been a most excellent piece of kit over the years (only 80Gb though, and DVD recorder failed early on), but doesn't seem keen on my new digital TV, or is getting a bit long in the tooth. My TV switches between scart and regular digital TV intermittently when the recorder is on for some reason, especially when its hot.Comment

I use HUMAX, excellent, can record 2 channels at once and watch a third at the sametime, Sky+ can't do this!"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment
