I'm all out of sync with Heroes as i tend to watch it from the US. eztv rocks! not got ep8 yet tho as wedding plans took time away from tv !!!
have you seen Hayden's pop video yet tho?  Think it's actually alright! still to make a proper judgement tho!

[Martin_1962]

Always watch it

Then Sue watches SCD then Nonentity, then tomorrow I'll watch Survivors.

2 PVRs here, getting a 3rd in a few weeks

I was looking a a 4 channal Humax last night and wondering whether to invest in one.

Well worth it

Got a Pace Twin, BT Vision, and getting a Humax HDR as soon as I have finished the wiring

what's the model number? i was thinking of using an xbox or something as a HD recorder and media player, but that Humax sounds dandy!

The one I am getting IS HDR, Freesat HD PVR

Look at the 9200 or 9150 twin tuner OVR, also the Topfield TF5800

if it's not freesat compatible, or freeview, what does it record from?   :-?

[Martin_1962]

Just looked

Middle East market, so unless you want to record their programmes

Not DVB-T so forget Freeview

Freesat uses a weird EPG to handle ITV HD, only PVR is the Humax HDR

[Mr Skrunts]

You need an Astra dish and at least 2 LNB outputs.

I got the stuff from Maplins a Fortec Star 65cm dish and a 4 way LNB
