hi, hope you guys can help,
i would like to get a freeview+ hd PVR box, but my problem is i dont know which to get, and theres so many that have ota updates etc, i finding it hard to decifer exactly what pvr does what.
so what i want from my pvr is to have the catch up on demand service, and possibly netflix
would also be nice to have it recording 2 channels while i watch one, or just be able to record 1 while i watch one at a minimum.
my budget is £300 tops, but would ideally like arounf the £250 mark.
any help would be greatly appreciated,
i have tried researching, but quite franklyt cant get very much decisive opinions,
each review site seems to give completely different reviews for pvr's,
i'm thinking of these -
Panasonic DMR-HW220
Humax HDR-FOX T2
Samsung STBE7500M
from what i can gather the samsung suits my needs best and is the newest, but i'm wary of the user interface, i hate slow clunky systems, and have been burnt with samsung products in the past.
the humax seems a really good bit of kit, but i cant find any definitive answers whether it will do the catch up stuff etc
and then leaves me with the panasonic, from the pictures i have seen of the interface it doesnt seem a particuarly slick epg system.
also everytime i read a review, stuff says one thing and which magazine say another, and i just find it very difficult to be able to make the right choice
