Hi,

Ive moved away from a Virgin area and am saying goodbye to my trusted TiVo box frown

I want to get a freeview recorder and cant decide between a youview box or generic freeview+ box? any suggestions

Price circa £150, can only connect via wifi

I'm looking at a Humax DTR-1000 plus a TP link wifi adapter which together come to £140

I've no interest at this stage to subscribe to extra channels

Thanks TinyCappo, we're with BT right now but looking to change to a cheaper provider. Bit nasty TalkTalk slice up your broadband without telling you, we only get about 11mb at the moment.

I decided to buy a Panasonic direct refurb DMR-HWT130 as it had a wifi dongle option and Viera smart TV stuff (we currently use Netflix through the Wii frown ) and really wasnt too fussed about the catch up youview extras, anything I want to watch I'll record

Seemed reasonable for £89 and is from Panasonic's own Ebay Store
