    Hey,

    I currently use an Archos 605 in work to watch tv programmes during lunch. I feel it is time to upgrade but all I want to do is watch tv programmes. I dont need wifi, cameras, or any other stuff. I need around 30gb hard drive and a decent screen over 7". I dont want to spend more than €150.

    Is my only option a cheap tablet, anyone have a recommendation?

    Thanks,

    Branners

    This caught my eye, as I still use a 605 for travelling.
    I've recently bought an Asus Transformer, which is out of your budget.
    Before I bought the Asus, I bought an Archos 70, which has a 7" screen and a 250GB HD. It also has a mini HDMI out and it might suit you down to the ground. It won't run the latest Android OS but it does the basics fine.
    HMV were doing a decent deal on it and it may be still available. I think i paid around £150 for it around six months ago.

    Slightly cheeky, but PM me if you're interested in buying it off me as I don't really use it any more since I got the Asus. I really only used it to see if an Android would suit me.
