[QUOTE="jphili, post: 511857, member: 196767"] It also depends a bit on how picky you are on the quality you record your stuff in. A Sat Receiver with a built-in Hard Disk (PVR function) will give you the same quality as watching live. You get everything, including text and subtitles (multi-language is available on some channels as well). If you want to archive (put on a DVD) a recording, you will typically have to pass through a PC though. As to the EPG, most receivers and channels will have the Now/Next info and you can manually program a recording. For more advanced FreeSat EPG, you'll need a FreeSat certified box. A more basic sat receiver can most of the time also be programmed to switch on/off at a particular time and channel. You can then program a DVD/HDD recorder to record at the same time, much as you would to record Sat with a VCR. Due to the conversion by the box to analog, and the conversion back to digital in the DVD/HDD recorder, you do loose some quality and you will always loose the extras [/QUOTE]
