[ppads52]

hi, can anybody offer any advice as to which box to purchase.

[aftermath]

what you after ?
sat or cable ?
recording options or not ?
HD or SD ?
how much you got to spend ?

[ppads52]

cable, is the most expensive always the best

[ppads52]

im after cable,recording capability yes,

There is only one HD channel at the moment on Cable and that is BBC HD. There is a HD box called the eurovox EX7000 which does have the record option which you can add on via an external hard drive.

If you are looking for a standard box have a look at the eurovox EX5100 which also has the recording option. Be aware that the recording option is not like sky plus and you can only record the channel that you are watching.

If you are looking for a model that is standard and does not have the record function try eurovox ex 1000sl

I got a ex5100 without the hard drive on friday, ?99 and im delighted with it very easy to set up as long as you read the Guide threads. I did,nt go for the hard drive as i have my DVD recorder set up to it if i need to record anything,but that depends on your own prefrences.
