I just downloaded the demo of this again today and had a good play around. It looks fantastic. For £50 you essentially get a fully featured twin tuner PVR with a nice, slick GUI.
Does anyone here now have one? I even like the cool way it changes channels with a nice fade out/in and the GUI bar rolls around almost iPhone style. I'm going to order one of these real soon I think. I roll with Freeview, so TBH I reckon this is a no-brainer.

I've got one and as far as I'm concerned it's _the_ best looking GUI and interactive system for Freeview. You can set it to record in the background even if you're playing games, the system's turned off or you're watching a DVD.
The only thing that might bug you - no series linking (ie, recording a whole series) and that it only supports DVB-T, and OfCom recently announced that Freeview-HD will be in DVB-T2 (or something - point its, the hardware won't support OfCom's format choice).
Good point though - whatever you record, can be exported to the XMB and from there onto USB drive and watched on your PC ;-)

Awesomo 4000.
Thanks for the info. TBH the episodic recording will not bother me. I just want to be able to take a piss without missing tits in Eastenders. Tonight would be ideal what with the last Grand Designs and The Apprentice being on. I can download them and watch them on the PS3 anyway but, I figure for £50 it's a must have for the PS3. As you say, the GUI makes it instantly better than any PVR I've seen.
HDTV doesn't worry me for now. The only shows I'd care about being in HD are US ones, and I download all those and watch them on the PS3 already. Win.
Ordered.

i bought one in the woolworths closing down sale so got one for half price, only bought it cos it was a bargain, still in its box lol, not even tried to see if it works as i have bt vision which i am very happy with.
will use it one day i guess, need to upgrade the size of my hard drive first from the 60gb though.

LMFAO, was always thinking of buying one but when never got around to it, so when i saw it for half price i thought, that'll do, i'll store it until i fancy using it and then already have one and don't have to wait for it to be delivered.
now if I bought one without owning a ps3, that would be a real woman thing to do!

Old thread revivial lol!
Yeah I bought one for £45 of shopto in their Jan sale. Also bought a 250gig HD to accommodate my recorded stuff.
Its great playing 32 player online killzone AND recording east enders at the same time
Have to say I really like it, however you will 'want' a PS3 remote and probbaly a bigger HD which pushes up the price a bit!

Just set up PSP and PS3 on remote play and you can then either stream tv onto the ps3 or transfer a recorded file (MP4 iirc) onto the psp

Basically, remote play will let you control your PS3 as if you're in front of it (you'll get a scaled down visual of the XMB as it normally appears on the TV) - the only things you can't do are play games, DVDs and Blu-Rays on it. Videos, Music and PlayTV all work fine. And yes, you can browse the Playstation Store and set it to download.
When you disconnect, you're given the option to shut down the PS3 or leave it running.
