    But Sue, that's just a software update away. Assuming what they moaned about hasnt already been updated. Its a bit like processors, you can wait for the next one which will be better, but do you ever actually get one?

    Ive been considering one of these:-

    Humax DTR-T1000 review | Digital tv recorders Reviews | TechRadar

    It combines PVR and tv on demand (like iplayer etc) all in one unit.

    I've fairly recently bought a couple of media players, a largish remote control helicopter (Syma S033G S033G - 3CH R/C helicopter with GYRO - Syma Toys) but would be interested to hear from the panel as to suggestions of things they've recently got or had their eye on

    I have my greedy little eyes on a Canon EOS 6D, being released this december. Snag is it will be a bit over £2K, and £120 would barely buy the lens cap

    But seriously, how about a Corsair Flash Survivor Stealth Ruggedised 64GB USB3.0 Flash Drive and a meal out with the OH (not me, your OH - well me if you like, as long as you're paying!)
