Recommend me an HD Freeview / On Demand / PVR box
Discussion
FWIW, discounted Now TV subs and device (latest Gen) - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/now-tv-box-with-a-...
So pardon the ignorance:
if I buy this deal I get the box and 6 months of sky entertainment to get started, and I can add on sports and movies
if I look at monthly costs here: http://www.nowtv.com/
entertainment +£7 per month
movies is +£10 per month
sports is +£32 per month
weirdly here the "value pack" prices are different - http://www.nowtv.com/box
entertainment +£8.33 per month
movies is +£12.50 per month
sports is +£35 per month
what is the point of these 24hr passes - are they really only 4 days of sport for £25?

You could also buy 2 boxes and add both vouchers (e.g. movies+entertainment) to your single account, and use both boxes simultaneously if you want. if I buy this deal I get the box and 6 months of sky entertainment to get started, and I can add on sports and movies

The second URL you found is if you're buying a box + voucher. More expensive than the Amazon offer.
These deals come up periodically and it's a cheaper way to use NowTV than ongoing monthly payments. I guess there's a lot of unboxed devices / devices being ebayed, as the value is in the vouchers.
No idea re. sports, as I've never used one of these vouchers.
I thought I'd revive this thread rather than start another. Some interesting info, thanks.
I've got BT BB linked via ethernet to the Humax box it came with and a Panasonic TV. It's main use will be for recording, I'm not bothered about HD so much.
Is there anything obviously wrong with this one? I like the idea of a phone app to program it, though the comments about software glitches put me off. https://www.johnlewis.com/bt-youview-smart-500gb-f...
Can I record two programmes at once with that? I know I can with this, but my Humax hasn't been that good tbh.

Or would buying a Panasonic mean I'd have one remote?
Any thoughts welcome, thanks.
