Question Set Top Box + Recorder

I've yet to take the plunge into the world of digital TV but today our aerial got updated so we can now receive Freeview. So I'm thinking I now need a set top box and also a PVR but I wanted to know if there was an all-in-one Freeview receiver and recorder? If that is not an option then I think I will go for the Humax PVR-9300T as it seems to be highly recommended here. Does it matter which set top box I get? This is for the portable TV in my bedroom as the main TV downstairs has an intergrated Freeview receiver.

Cheers.

Si

You're a little confused...an integrated Freeview box and recorder is a PVR...the Humax model you quoted is just that...a twin tuner Freeview recorder.
Unless you mean a Freeview STB and a separate DVD Recorder (DVDR).
