Freeview Tivo Box.....

[ToraToraTora]

Hi, can anyone recommend a freeview box that loosely speaking provides the functions of sky+, live pause, etc. Also large recording capacity and in built access to netflix and all the catchups etc via the net connection. Basically sky are taking the ssip and I'm looking for alternatives, thanks. This is the sort of thing but I have no experience of what is any good or not, thanks

With that specification it's really got to be Humax (which I see your link goes to).

This model, from Curry's, has twice the recording capacity of the one in your link:

Curry's are also currently offering these two models (which have the same recording capacity as your link):

(That looks like an absolute bargain to me)

ok thanks, the humax looked the part but I wanted to check if there were any better options out there.
