Advantages: Ecellent picture quality & ease of use Disadvantages: Bit pricy
found on the internet cheaper than this. I have seen it on one site for £80+ pounds sterling, with returned units being sold from around from £60+.
Considering the Video Capture unit I was about to buy would have cost me £80, and my existing internal TV card cost me around £30 a few years ago, I did feel it was a reasonable purchase.
I have to say I am impressed with the quality of TV image I receive, it is far superior to what I have been used to from my existing internal card, and I now have an encoder to allow me to capture my old camcorder videos too.
The unit is made by Hauppauge and is called WinTV, PVR2, personal video recorder.

Advantages: Picture, sound, recption Disadvantages: Remote control
I had a Thomson 160GB PVR and it was awfull, it kept crashing, wouldn't come out standby, Picture kept breaking up and it was noisey. I put up with this for 2 years and i'd had enough, so i bought a Humax 9300T PVR 320GB. What a fantastic box, the picture doesn't break up and is much sharper, it's whisper quiet when on and off, it's got a 320GB hard drive so you can record the programs you like to watch, you can also do a series link so you can record a whole series of a program, it has accurate recording so if a prgoram starts learly or runs late it will automatically adjust to record the whole program. It has HDMI slot for if your tv is HD ready and also it will power your indoor arial. in standby it only uses 0.9w of electric compared to my old box which used 17.8w. In my opinion the remote is a bit fiddly but once you have used it ...

Advantages: Large memory, twin tuners, easy to use Disadvantages: Some minor problems still unresolved, noisy
We bought our Humax PVR-9200T not long after moving into our new house in December 2005. We decided on the Humax PVR as it came with a Freeview set up and the facility to record programmes along with a host of other minor functions. For those of you in the dark ages or still on analogue TV, PVR stands for 'Personal Video Recorder' and is essentially a computer type hard drive contained in a TV receiver box. This PVR is a link between my aerial and my TV so I can watch nice crisp digital TV, our PVR's work with cable or satellite TV. I decided to use the Humax for a year before writing a review on it, however I feel that I am now writing about something that is nearly obsolete with the recent push for High Definition TV (HDTV).
We chose the Humax PVR-9200T based a few things. First there was a glowing review of an older Humax PVR ...

HD PVR is the world's first High-Definition video recorder for making real-time H.264 compressed recordings at resolutions up to 1080i. HD-PVR records component video (YCrCb) from cable TV and satellite set top boxes, with a built-in IR blaster to automatically change TV channels for scheduled recordings. Audio is recorded using AAC or Dolby Digital. The recording format is AVCHD, which can be used to burn Blu-ray DVD disks. Two hours of HD recordings, recorded at 5 Mbits/sec, can be burnt onto a standard 4.7 GByte DVD-R or DVD-RW disk for playback on a Blu-ray DVD player. The HD PVRs amazing recording quality allows personal archival of your favorite high definition TV programs from any component video HD set top box. The HD PVR also has standard definition composite and S-Video inputs so you can record your old home video tapes into an AVCHD format for creating Blu-ray DVD recordings.
