We had it for a couple of years for a few things, then realised that we were mostly getting value from the Sky+ box and hardly watched any channels on Sky.

Switched to Freeview PVR - cost about £150. Paid for itself in 6 months.

TS, do you mean a "TiVo"? We use those, Freeview box with hard drive recorder, costs about £180 from memory. The one in the front room is full of movies, time I acquired a fourth one.

Can't you download the movies onto something else?

Bayard,

I've not had any need to do so, but apparantly our Humax Freeview box can be plugged into a PC and mounted as an external drive and you can just copy the movies off.

For me, I watch most movies once then delete them. The ones I really like I get on DVD or Blu-Ray.

B, my son's girlfriend puts them on data sticks. But in terms of £ per GB of storage, the Sagecom digi-recorder box is actually cheaper than data sticks.

I've tried downloading stuff to a hard drive but it takes ages and keeps crashing.
