HUMAX PVR9300 at Richer Sounds - HI-FI Separates, Home Cinema, Speakers, MP3 DVD Portables, Plasma LCD, etc.

With this bad boy you can record 2 things at once and watch a recording at the same time.

That's the fella, although mine is the 160gb version - tempted to pull the drive out and stick a big mutha into it.

Sometimes you can record 2 things at once AND watch something else live too. Depends on what mux (or some other similar word) the channels are being broadcast on.

Yep, got the same box as Bozza - it's FANTASTIC, can't reccommend it highly enough.

Never miss an episode of neighbours again!

I've Sky+ and a generic free satellite one here - once you get used to PVRs watching 'normal' TV again is irritating and near impossible.

How many programmes can it record at the same time?

NB not all twin tuners can record 2 programmes at once, although my mum's can record and playback simultaneously. Don't get a single tuner though, because when the analogue signal is switched off you won't be able to watch one channel whilst recording another.

That's 80 hours worth. If you need more, cant you hook up an external drive?
"Mux" is slang for multiplex, the division of the signal which carries a certain group of channels eg this site shows the groupings for the Granada area signal which originates near Bolton.
