Hi,
I have a panny smart tv with Freeview built in. My BT youview recorder has gone phut - it was always flaky. I've been reading user reviews of Freeview Play recorders and am appalled at the number of 1 stars awarded.
So, my question is: as I have freeview built in, is there a plain and simple recorder that will just
record and play back the programs I choose? I don't care too much about the catch up and 7 day past programs stuff. If I've missed something, so be it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
 
You had / have the simplest a Youview box, IMO.
 
Will your Panny not take an external drive to record to? You haven't said what model you have.
 
Right, I'll call BT tomorrow morning. I'd be interested in recording to an external drive anyway. My Panny number is TX-L42E6B.
Thanks for your replies
 
Seems that the spec says no to USB HDD recording. Well, it doesn't say yes and a couple of forums say No. So much for that idea.
