starview 2 v box pvr

thinking of buying a cable box but being new to this have a small problem of choosing best one.i have seen starview 2 on e bay for £99 and thought yes then i saw the new pvr box for £180 apparently its like skyplus(got 80gig hard drive and you can record on it while watching other channel.now which do i choose i quite fancy the pvr but dont really want to find myself with a box that doesnt do as it should if you know what i mean.thanks for any advice, joe

 

Hi joe
I can recommend TheBox PVR and I am very pleased with mine. You can buy them with or without H/D and will take up to 350gb. Fitting a drive is the same as into a PC and I have seen them on the popular auction site for around £159 w/o drive. Very good features, Twin Tuner = record 2 chans at same time and watch one, Timeshift, EPG Pre-record setting, Fully AutoUpdate, Software Updates. Plenty of remote control and Menu functions, PIP switching between tuners,HDD functions from remote control. Up to you in the end, I don't sell them but I'm glad I brought one.
