    Can anyone suggest a DVR to record from saorview? Is it possible to connect to computer rather than TV?

    1st off, check if you have a TV set that can record on to a USB stick or HDD plugged into the back.
    Some of the more modern TVs have this facility.

    Thanks. It's not me who wants this. Their TV is this one

    I don't know if it can record on to a USB stick or HDD plugged into the back. It says "the usb port allows you to connect external devices". i don't know if that includes recording to USB

    As a result, programmes recorded via USB may be digitally “locked” to that TV set. If so, you will not be able to “top and tail” or otherwise edit them, copy them to a different hard drive, or play them in another room or at a friend’s house. These were all things you could do with old-fashioned video tape.

    And if your TV set dies, your recordings presumably won’t work on your new TV set, or not without some form of online registration. (I haven’t run into this, but please comment below if you have.)
