Anyone planning a PVR; they have some 250GB HDs in my local for 60ukp

Never posted it for sat stuff, just electronics in general.

If you go to their .co.uk website you'll see on their frontpage a PC base unit. Click on the image and you'll see quite a nice looking PC - then check out it's specs...

2x DVB-S tuners
2x DVBxT tuners
1x UHF/CATV tuner

Then...

SCART socket, s-video in/out, 250 gig HDD, DVD-/+ R/RW and remote control.

Seems like sat stuff to me! Providing there's decent third party support for the DVB-S/T tuners it seems like amazingly good VFM to me and the kind of thing I've been looking for in a satellite receiver for years. For what you get (hardware wise*) it would appear better value than a Dreambox/Topfield/Kaon/Triple Dragon.

*I say that but then who knows what DVB cards are in it? They may be £30 jobbies!

TJE was kind enough to impart this information to members on "The Meeting Place Chat Forum" of this board. I think that was nice of him as not everyone gets weekly downloads from the German Supermarket chains.

That PC I mentioned seems well specified for the money. At least I think so!

mhku

But it's only a p4 3.0Ghz

Dual layer DVD writers are under £30, ram is cheap.

Would you spend £750 at Aldi? (this is not to knock the original post, merely my opinion on the PC. )

Well if the DVB cards are good enough and all the other elements added up (and if I could justify spending another £750 on myself right now) then YES, not a problem. Not been in an Aldi before but they can't be any worse than a dedicated electrical/PC shop such as a Comet or a DSG store.

My opinion
Not value for money???
You takes your choice and pays yer money
