Hard disk recorders

Is it possible to buy one of these that does not come with freeview?

Check out the Archos Tv+, not 100% sure if they are for sale as yet in the UK

Thanks.
I've had a loook and for what they cost I may as well bite the bullet and pay Virgin for their V+ box.

Cheers anyway

Why don't you want freeview? I've just turned the freeview channel scanner off...

I already have a PVR with freeview and it won't work with the Virgin cable box. We can't get a strong enough aerial signal where we've just moved to so in order to get all the channels we had to move to cable/sky. I contacted the manufacturer of the PVR who confirmed it would not work with the Virgin box - bit of a pisser really as it was only a couple of months old

ah I see..

Wait till one of the German cheapy chains has an offer soon, they usually don't have Freeview. Otherwise get one with Freeview that has a "SCART encoder", you can hook a Sky/Virgin box up to these just like a VCR. Getting harder to find but most JVC ones do.

Failing that, import one from Ireland - nobody uses DTT ("Freeview") here except a tiny few so all hard drive recorders sold here have analogue tuners still.
