OK all I am an Apple Mac loving Vicar who knows little about technology but enough to be able to faff around and generally muck things up at which point I phone a friend who talks me down step by step.
I've had a Digibox PVR Hard-drive thingy under the telly for a couple of years but it was dead cheap and is now really playing up (skipping, stopping, jerky, generally seizing up). I loved the "guide" option (showing what was all on all channels, inc. radio, up to a week ahead) and the "library" thing where you keep all your recordings. I also loved being able to record two channels at once and watch a third (although very seldom did this: when are there three worth watching on tv, never mind simultaneously . . . still, good programmes are like busses . . .)
Anyway, I need a replacement. And I know you all to be men of discernment. So: any good makes/models? Any to avoid? Any tips or tricks?
Thanks in advance,
Ollie
