Freeview

I'm planning on getting my brother a freeview box.

He's mentioned it before and recently mentioned wanting a radio tuner, so thought might as well get him a freeview box which will also let him listen to the radio stations on it.

I've got Pioneer DBR TF100 which does the job nicely, but is it possible to get something (without a MOnthly contract) that has built in recording options?

I'm not really up to date with what's available, or where things currently stand.

So any info and recommendations appreciated.

 

yeah, I'm sure there's a sony one that cost about 160 quid (maybe less now?) that has a hdd recorder built it...

other than that - I'm not that clued up myself...

 

I have the Humax PVR9200T, which is about £190, and has a 160GB HDD. Very pleased with it after a year. Depending on the multiplexes, you can record two channels and watch a third; also record radio onto the HDD.

 

Been thinking, and his DVD player's been playing up lately too. Is there an all in one jobby for the......... erm...... job?

Freeview tuner, HDD and a dvd writer all in one?

 

I think Pioneer do one, but at around £400

 

The Topfield is the one with the Internet word of mouth, google it!
