Looking to buy one. I keep missing Waking The Dead, and mobile broadband doesn't cater for watching things on iPlayer.

Can anyone recommend a good recordable Freeview box?

Agreed. Our Sony is a bit rubbish - the menus are hard to navigate.Originally posted by krytonsheep View Post"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Sky + is the way forward. The interface is brilliant, it's failed to record I think twice in the last 2 years and you can easily chuck in a huge hard drive so you never come close to running out of space

Apart from it costing you every single month, unlike a Freesat/Freeview PVR.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Yes, but you pays for what you get and realistically all the other PVR's are a sack of wank in comparison.Originally posted by d000hg View PostApart from it costing you every single month, unlike a Freesat/Freeview PVR.Comment

avoid the ones from Phillips. We had two - they both would hang and need rebooting (physical unplugging) every 100hrs or so viewing.. very annoying. bought one of those power boards that turns everything off when the master socket is off to solve this but it would take a while to boot everytime. very annoying.. like not using paragraphs or proper grammerComment

Another vote for the Humax box, got 2 of them and you really get used to freezing and rewinding live telly even if you aren't recording it, chase-watching and best of all the 30 sec jump button for jibbing past adverts. Pretty soon it is like having your own channel and you almost never watch anything live, even footy is worth kicking on after 15 minutes to skip half time...Comment
