thanks for the quick informative responses.

I agree his setup is archaic - but I suspect there are many in his boat. Not sure he is ready for TV upgrade yet.

still very suprised there isn;t a PVR (dual dig tuner) + DVD combo available.

With the current DVD recorders with 1 analog and 1 digital tuner, does this enable you to record freeview and watch channels 1-5 on analog signal?

am i right in thinking due to 1 scart limit on TV he can't have DVD recorder + seperate PVR? Wasn't sure if PVR could connect to DVD recorder in some way.

will have a chat with him - thanks again.
