Mike you make a good point about HD. I beleive the first region to have HD terrestrial broadcasts won’t be until the 2nd of December 2009. From what I gather speaking to those in the set top box/PVR business, most of those who want to be involved early admit (or plan) they won’t have a unit available until at least quarter one 2010.

Hi Mike,
Its for Freeview (thanks for the heads up) and has been designed as a simple digital set top box adapter for your telly. For some people, it may end up effectively replacing their VCR because it has some simple onboard recording functions.

This sounds quite a novel way of recording programmes. However there is no mention of what platform the one tuner is, i.e. Freesat/Freeview etc or whether it is capable of recording HD broadcasts. I definately think when they produce a twin tuner version with HDD this will be very useful especially IF it will record HD programmes and thankfully present another viable, much needed bit of competition to the likes of the Sky+ and Humax PVR’s.
