| 794477 | 2009-07-23 07:45:00 | Hi all SWMBO is back at work and needs TV soaps "taped". Have had a look at the costs of MySky and DVD recorders and they both come in at about the same price. Any comments on either? Cheers Francis |

| 794479 | 2009-07-23 07:48:00 | If theyre free to air soaps get a USB tuner or something instead. I wouldnt waste my money getting sky just for soaps | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 794482 | 2009-07-23 08:02:00 | You dont need broadband for a USB / PCI tuner, (for freeview you're not watching it online), but you need a good UHF aerial. Or a satellite dish, if you want freeview satellite | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 794483 | 2009-07-23 08:06:00 | If you already have Sky and are not considering canceling it in the near future, I'd consider My Sky as it integrates with the Sky EPG making it easy to use :). | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 794484 | 2009-07-23 09:06:00 | Or do what Metla did and get a freeview decoder with PVR function. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 794485 | 2009-07-23 09:59:00 | Cheap option=Get something like this: www.trademe.co.nz Then, buy an external 2.5" 160gb HD for around $100. This means you can watch then all on one Hard drive, anytime Blam |
