I have a digital TV recorder, which is a digibox with a hard disk which stores recordings. I just go to the on-screen TV guide, select a programme and click record, job done. If the programme is part of a series then there in an option to record either the programme or the entire series. This means that for shows like Corrie I only have had to click record once, about two years ago, and all subsequent episodes have been automatically recorded. It has twin tuners which means that I can watch one channel and record another or, if I am not watching TV, record two channels simultaneously. It can store up to 150 hours of recordings. It is a very useful piece of kit, and it was under £100. I wouldn't be without it now.
