Samsung seem to be pretty popular - don't need built in Freesat - how often do you watch live TV?

Speak for yourself, I watch loads of TV without recording it. 

That is quite rare in a PVR houshold

When you set up loads of programmes you watch what you want when you want and lose the adverts as well

I disagree - never happened in vhs days, wont happen now

Back in the day you could actually see the time "signal" that instructed Videoplus when to start & stop recording, so "losing" adverts is a piece of piss and has been for years.

Some of us never had Vhs days

That said - PVRs totally change the way you watch TV

Maybe in your household.  I watch Top Gear on a Sunday Night, but I also record it and watch it again when suits.  As I do a lot of stuff.

The PVR idea is good, but the hard drive needs to be 2 TB + for me, coz I like to trcord films and all that a PVR offers me is the ability to have a degree of on demand viewing, which if I could hook a hard drive up to the USB port on the sky box then I would be happy.

This is why I am having various ways to record arround my home, Freesat in the bedroom and sky plus HD in the living room, I can take a 2nd link from the sky box to my bedroom and watch any nod HD recordinds, wether the freesat does the same I dont yet know, but if it does then that can be watched in the living room whilst located in the bedroom.   Plus adding an MCE at some point gives more options and more storage.

I concur you need bucket loads of space.  My MCE currently has a 1.5TB, but this will be replaced with a 2Tb when they come in at sensible prices.

I've just had to bite the bullet and get a 2Tb recording drive for mine. How many detective series can Tigger record and watch I ask myself?

I'm guessing about 2Tb worth....

Jamie will soon be adding a 2TB to his MCE now that Top Gear is in HD..
