    Can anyone recommend a good recordable Freeview box?

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

    Humax boxes are very good...

        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

          Indeed Sky+ is a thing of beauty.

            Apart from it costing you every single month, unlike a Freesat/Freeview PVR.

              Yes, but you pays for what you get and realistically all the other PVR's are a sack of wank in comparison.

                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 grammer

                  Got two Asda 80 quid specials, seem good enough to me.

                    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...
