Anyone able to recommend a recorder for Freeview (similar to a Sky+ box?) Preferably not too pricey!

That actually looks the business, and at £80 quid is a fair price...
Have you got one? Any thoughts?

I don't get a good enough signal where I am, but a mate paid £120 a couple of months back for the self same machine and he's pretty happy

You don't have enough signal for Freeview presumably? I take it the box doesn't need a stronger signal?
(Have freeview downstairs and that works fine).

oh!
You need a decent aerial like a Televes

I can guarantee you this mother will pick up Freeview. You must get it fitted properly on the roof as well.
In peacehaven a standard aerial does not cut it.

Can highly recommened the Humax PVR9200T - brilliant little box.
The PVR9200T has a built-in 160GB HDD and 2 freeview tuners. You can record one channel while watching another, record 2 different channels at the same time or record 2 different channels at the same time while watching a 3rd (as long as the 3rd channel is on the same mux as one of the channels being recorded). In addition, it has a USB 2.0 port to allow you to upload saved recordings to a PC.

avoid the Pace box- that was my first try, and it was woeful..
I currently have a Panasonic (£40 or so? maybe cheaper now..)- double heads(!), so you can view(& record!) one channel, and record another at the same time.. also pause 'live' tv.. v useful to speed thru the ads!
seems to be ok, as long as you dont change channels too quickly..

Hmmmm
I had been holidng out for the holy grail of Freeview, HDD, and DVD R, but not sure now if that is actually worth it. Might be adding one of these to the Xmas list.

could f/view or HDD boxes be linked to a PC anyway, via a scart lead? (instead of going into the tv socket)

Why would you want to do that?
