    Some advice on a new set up please

    Hi, I am currently with Virgin Media and have a Tivo Box and pay for the XL TV package & broadband. However it's ?60 a month so will be cancelling next month as that will be the end of the 12 month contract.

    I also have a Sky dish installed and the aerial cable ready to go from a previous Sky HD installation that I cancelled and then sold my Sky box & card.

    A few years ago I had a Eurovox box and was able to set it up myself with the required keys to decrypt N2 but then after the N3 upgrade the box was useless hence the switch to Sky.

    So I have both Virgin and Sky live feeds into my home and would now like to get into ** unless there is a better alternative with N3?

    I can afford to spend around ?150 on a box and would prefer one that can record 2 channels at once whilst watching a third and is HD. Also from what I hear for around ?10 a month I can get everything with **

    So any advice for me?

    Thanks

    I dont think you will get a twin tuner for ?150 thin you will be looking at over ?300 with hard drive.

      as mentioned above, your budget does not match your requirements and you need to double it to achieve what you want
