Hey all,

I'm a sky boy, and the last time I touched DTT, I apparently killed my supplier ITV Digital within 2 months.

Anyway, I need to buy my girlfriend a PVR for christmas (she's seen the Freeview+ adverts).

Sadly it seems most of the boxes available have issues.

I *think* I've narrowed it down to either the Humax 9150 or the Thomson Thomson DT16021S, though I'm open to others - I know your expertise is better than mine.

In summary:

*Must be as close to sky+ as possible - Chase play, series link, manual padding/auto adjustment
*Must have the backing of AVForumites!
*Prices upto £120 - I'd say £130 for a Humaax 9200, but Argos are out of stock

Oh and could someone tell me if the top up tv free month + setanta 9 months thing with the Thomson is easy to set up?

Best prices:

£99 - Thomson
£119 - Humax

I'm reliably informed that Humax are generally the best bar none, and names such as Hitachi and Toshiba don't necessarily mean a lot in this market.

Someone please help?
