On a similar note to the Sky thread I'm thinking about dumping my Virgin TV subscription (pretty much everything I really want to watch is on Freeview anyway). I'd probably get either Prime or Netflix (or both) too.
Anyway, the one feature of my Virgin TV that I would really miss is the TIVO recorder/box. Can anyone recommend whatever kit I'd need to replace it adequately?
Cheers

Failing that, Humax used to be the Defacto DVR brand.
Don't think it does prime, but I haven't checked lately. TBH despite having a prime subscription, there's very little I'm interested in on there (The Grand Tour excepted!).
Those Humax boxes look great---at £150 for one of them thats very attractive compared to paying Virgin £30 a month for TV...
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
I want the ability to record and watch complete series, and also more importantly to be able to pause live TV.
Not so bothered about catchup services because I have a chromecast for iPlayer etc.
This one is very good, it's very fast / responsive to menu selections which some PVRS are not.

You can use the YouView app to control it via Internet as well.
They often turn up on eBay very cheaply.
Thanks Chaps. The BT branded Humax looks ideal. Few months until my current virgin deal ends and then I'll be cancelling the TV I think.
