It's time for me to get a PVR. I'm just looking for basic functionality - basic recording and playback, but I would like to be able to watch one channel while recording another. I'm not bothered about writing to DVD. No Sky.
I've got a Sony Freeview box with SCART connectors, a Panasonic DVD player, and a Panasonic PW6 with a single SCART connector.
The Freeview signal here is quite poor. I've got a booster box, but I do suffer from occasional screen corruption on even the best channels.
I'm saving up to go HD in 18 months or so - I reckon decent 1080p displays will be a reasonable price by then and HD/BD DVDs will be readily available - so I'm not looking to spend a lot of money.
So what do you recommend?
