[dear lazyweb] Digital TV recording
Feb. 3rd, 2012 04:28 pmSo, it's getting to the point where I'm looking at what we're spending, and have to admit that we're shelling out waay too much for cable TV. Not that I don't use it, but now that everything comes out on DVD right away, I'm less bothered about missing out.
What I will miss if I cancel the cable is the V+ box. I haven't watched anything when it was on for years. I no longer even know what day my regular programmes are on. I know all the major channels have catch-up on their web sites, but those are up for limited time, and sometimes it takes me a really long time to get around to watching stuff.
So what I want to know is, is there such a thing as a Freeview box that records? Or a digital recorder that isn't tied to paying one of the cable companies loads of money every month?
