I bought a Thomson one from Tesco. It’s a 160GB with twin tuners and was a refurb. Only cost £60.
It works great and is very easy to use. I subsequently bought my parents one and even they can use it!!
Only issue is the fan is quite noisy.
This one – 160GB: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.207-8514.aspx
or this one – 250GB for £20 more: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.208-3551.aspx
Me too. Been perfect, and a decent UI. Best £60 I’ve ever spent on Christmas Eve too.
Had a Humax but it was an old single tuner job – it was awful, kept hanging, losing channels until hard rebooted, Humax themselves couldn’t find me a firmware update as over the air updates didn’t ever work.. but everyone else raves about them so they must have improved.
