[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 38669, member: 175963"] There are alternatives to sky+. 1. If you are just interested in the BBC and other FTA channels then any none Sky receiver with a build in hard disk would do the job. This type of receiver usually have common interfaces so you can add a CAM for encrypted channels (not for Sky). 2. Alternatively you could consider buying a DVD recorder. In particular the Panasonic recorders have good time shifting capabilities as the use DVD RAM (and DVD-R). DVD RAM lets you do things like time shift and record one program while watching another. I know that most manufacturers are not supporting DVD RAM but it is the best format. 3. Last but not least, some manufactureres make hard disk recorders, with or without a built in DVD player. Panasonic among others make one with built in hard disk and DVD recorder. Options 2 & 3 work well with any Sky digibox. [/QUOTE]
