(UK) Cancelling SKY Plus - what device to play DVDs & easy record TV programmes like SKY Plus box did?

Question

Thanks.

When the SKY Plus subscription ends I know it won't allow me to record or schedule record programmes I like (Ashes To Ashes ect).... and therefore was wondering what kind of device, if there is one, might have this functionality inbuilt?

Answer 1

you can either change to Virgin Media or get a free veiw box. i think the free veiw compnay called top up TV allows this you just have to buy the box.

Answer 2

You could have a look at these units. Remember Sky will always have some features that are not available anywhere else.

Sony RDR-HXD710  Freeview unit with a DVD recorder and a 160 Gig hard-disk.

Panasonic DMREX75 Freeview Tuner, DVD recorder and 160Gb hard disk. The Humax PVR-9200TS does not have a DVD drive but it's quiet capable at everything else.
