I have a TV. It works. I'm not upgrading it. So, Humax HD Freeview seems to be the choice of preference. Off to the x404 Amazon link I go to get an idea of prices. Mark

What about a Blu Ray player with built-in HD Freeview? Many of them now have iPlayer etc IIRC.
Edit - take a look, but I'm having trouble finding ones that aren't also recorders and therefore stupidly expensive!

There's so many of the recorders, and they can be damn expensive too.

This is why I'm saying Humax box. It shows TV, it's relatively inexpensive. What more do you need?

I don't really need a DVR and I'm not seeing many (any?) that aren't. (8+D Mark

If you don't need a DVR, then just search for "freeview hd set top box".
Receiver only, less than £40 on Amazon from what I can see.

But I think Mark wants a box that does Internet for the streaming catch-up services? I'm not sure there are many that do internet but don't do recording, since it costs relatively little to add the extra feature once the box is that clever already. It takes the same amount of processing power to stream as it does to record and play back. I did find this which looks remarkably good value at £32 although it only does HD FreeView and iPlayer, not 4oD and the rest: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electro ... oduct.html_________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

So far this week we have cleared the garage of 90% of rubbish. For a few more boxes to go through but I think I can get rid of it in the normal rubbish & recycling collections.
