    My System: 1.1m & 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed dishes to satisfy SWMBOs multi-lingual aspirations (failed).
    Just to be absolutely clear, as there is often confusion about terminology - and it is crucial in this case - do you mean Freeview (DTT) or do you mean Freesat (DSAT)?

    My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 23 years and is now fixed on 13 East using two pairs of rusty molegrips. Unlike me they never groan but always perform.

    Yes

    Good point Gordon and it is also not posted in either the freesat section or the Freeview section but in the Digital systems section

    Mmm

    Thread moved,

    I cannot say I have yet seen such an animal to be honest but if there currently is not one I am sure some company will fill the hole in the market quite soon

    My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. A Foxsat HDR which moves with me between the UK and France. Main TV: UK Philips 42PFL9632; France 47PFL9632 My lovely little lappy, Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Perhaps the TM6900 could do this? I know it had DTT (possibly even Freeview?) and has a USB port for an external drive.

    Someone with one may be able to confirm.

    I`ve a Fetch TV Freeview stb with both a HDD and USB which fits the bill, I purchased the 7000 version (80 gb HDD) of fleabay for £37, or you can have the latest version 8000 (160gb and twin tuners) approx £200 or fleabay for less.

    They`re both made by the French company Netgem, didn`t mention that you can`t record directly to an external HDD but you have to export the files (.ts) via the user menu.
    Linux is the OS so barring the odd crash, as stable as any stb.

    Forget to add Series Link is available although you`ll also record the repeats if any, it`s marketed primarily as a VOD service although you can use your own ISP unlike BT Vision.

    There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
