Recommend me an HD Freeview / On Demand / PVR box

[sicasey]

Our Sky TV contract has thankfully come to and end and I've given them notice of cancellation.

Crap content at over inflated prices and besides we only generally watch the 'core' free-view channels.

The only good thing about Sky for us was: 1) The ability to watch on demand content from the main channels, whilst skipping the adverts 2) Record/FF/RW programs.

Therefore, can anyone please recommend a non subscription box that does the following (if one even exists):

1) Has HD Free-view programs
2) Has on demand content (BBC/4OD etc)
3) Has the ability to record said free-view programs.

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention that at the moment there is no coax connection.

Can these boxes stream everything over the webs, live TV etc?

If not then it's not the end of the world to get an aerial guy in.

Humax offers a freesat box so you continue to use your dish if you want.

Interesting, thanks.

So this box would plug into the existing Sky dish cables?

Still has one year warranty.

Fantastic, much appreciated.

Out of interest, does anyone else have any other recommendations?

Just for comparison.
