Default Electronics Geeks I need your help :)

Afternoon folks,

Here is my question for you all to have a go at.

I have a Sony Bravia D Series 40" 40D3500 HD 1080p Freeview Widescreen tv and i would like the ability to record / pause / rewind the freeview. I've been looking at the like of the sky+ systems and the Humax PVR-9300T 320GB amugnst others but i dont really want the additional freeview as i already have it. So is there a system where i can record the lot onto a hard drive without the need of the additional freeview?

If so could you put up some links etc so that i can have a look.


Cheers in advanced

Danny

I believe your only options are: Sky +, New freeview with HDD or a DVD recorder, but you can only record then and would need to change the channels yourself to record.
Ive not heard of anything like you are after.

O, one last option, new TV with built in recording facility, but i doubt you'd be interested in that one.

Recorder with a tuner is also useful so you can watch something on the TV (using it's tuner) and record something else using the recorder's tuner.

I find it really useful with V+ (Virgin Media cable) having 3 tuners so you can watch 1 thing and record 2 others ..... everything I want to watch is always on at the same time as each other ....

I personally think if you can justify Sky+ by watching enough TV it has to be the best all round option? Nice and simple, easy to use and soo good for not having to waste time watching Adverts, i even avoid watching TV until a program has been on for 15 mins (if it has Ad's) just so i can skip them!

Another more general question now

i want a wall mounting kit for it that allows for some tilting up to about 15 degs i think will do. any suggestions? Ive looked at the sony one but dont really fancy paying another £150 for one when im sure theres something cheaper out there that will do EXACTLY the same job

lol, you legend.

You can do that with a humax too, i'm not really going to be watching tv that much, gonna be working some long hours soon, just though it would be handy to have something that can record
