ive got a youview recorder it was a talk talk one but when i went to bt the software changed to bt (weird) you get all the freeview channels plus access to the bbc itv c4 c5 players and netflix and amazon prime
with mine you can record one program and watch another pause live tv rewind live tv in the planner if something that you have missed from last week is available to watch it will have a planner button
all this and no money to be payed (unless amazon prime and netflix)
it all depends on what you watch we dont really do live tv anymore dont like adverts dont like not being able to binge definately go for a youview recorder has loads more options compared to a freeview and it doesnt matter if its bt or talk talk it will still work just not there paid for parts which you will need to enter a contract and make sure it has a harddrive some do not
