Recommendation on a PVR saorview approved box and freesat PVR box - NOT a combo

    Hey, looking for recommendations on cheap enough boxes, looking to spend a max of about €200 on the two. Want them both to be PVR ready with an external hard drive, and have pause and rewind live tv functions if possible (more so on the freesat box than the saorview). Reason I dont a combo box, is that I will really miss the guide and record function of sky, which you wont get for UK channels with a combo box I think.
    also would like the freesat box to pick up HD channels.

    Cheers!

    The first Saorview PVR maybe November /December.

    Humax is hard to beat for a good Freesat HD PVR.

    You'll need more than €200 to get a Saorview PVR and decent Freesat HD PVR isn't far off €200 (inc VAT and delivery)

    FWIW, I dont mean thos PVRS like sky + boxes with inbuilt HDs and dual tuners, I just mean the ones which allow you connect an external hard drive by USB and pause, rewind and record one channel. Perhaps theyre cheaper?

    That's not a PVR, but a setbox with a recording feature.
