Title says it all really......
I currently have SKY+, and despite the fact that I have to pay £10 extra in order to use the record facilities, I find it a very easy and reliable PVR. My wife knows how to record her programmes, and we are all happy.....
Except for the above mentioned fact that I have to pay SKY to use the PVR facilities.
I would like to get rid of SKY altogether and use Freeview, which I have built into my TV, but I need to replace it with a PVR that is as easy to use as SKY+.
The Humax's and Topfields are talked about a lot on these forums, and both have their fair share of advantages and disadvantages. They have also been around for quite a while.
Does anyone know if there are any new PVRs due out soon?
I know SKY isnt perfect, but its easy to use, and easy on the eye. I was toying with the idea on getting a Toppy and adding TAPs to give me the same functionality of SKY now, but ideally, I dont want to mess about with all that. I would prefer to just get a PVR that does everything SKY does, but without the expense. I have seen a few cheaper PVRs set up and I am not impressed. The epg's are messy and confusing and the functions are very basic- why have a PVR with only one tuner. Whats the point?
Anyway...
Has anybody heard on the grapevine of new PVRs hitting the shelves soon?
