Recommend a FreeSAT PVR for around £150

[DejaVu]

This is not really my field and I'm out of touch of most things TV.

But my step dad has asked me to replace his current Humax FreeSat box with something that can record.
He's after something as easy to use as Sky's recording facilities, without the need to actually go to Sky.

I've looked at a few of the higher end Humax boxes, but think they are a bit pricey for what they are.
Any other recommendations?

I also have a few other questions of a similar nature for a better 'enthusiasts box' in the coming weeks, but I'll make a new thread for that soon.

I don't know about all this 'enthusiast' stuff but I rate Humax highly and they have refurbs for decent prices, 500GB for £149:

Well, what can I say. That is more than perfect!

Bought one of these grade A refurbs myself 3 weeks ago. Absolutely superb in every way

First one turned out to be perfect. Sadly Humax Direct no longer have any.
Know of anywhere else I could score another one lads for a similar price?

Just ordered one of the Youview boxes myself!

If you take out BT TV package I think you get given the same Youview box, not sure what the costings are and what works out cheaper.
