Freeview +

Can anyone recommend a Freeview+ (decoder+recorder) unit?

I was in Sainsbury's earlier & even they seemed to have a choice of 10 - I
find it all a bit boggling.

Humax PVR9150T: ~£135.00
Humax PVR9300T: ~£185.00

I wouldn't recommend as supermarket for something like that.

Either get it direct from the manufacturer, or somewhere like Comet.

Nobody with any sense buys anything from Vomit.

....and pay by credit card, so if it turns out to be sh*te, you can get
a chargeback from the credit card company if the shop turn out to be a
bunch of lying ******* who don't believe in consumer law.

Even if the staff in Sainsburys know nothing about the products on display,
they will still know more than the average salesperson in Comet. And
Sainsburys won't try to sell you a massively overpriced extended warranty.

I wouldn't expect reliable technical advice from any of them, but if you've
done your own research and know what you want, it'll be exactly the same box
wherever you buy it, so why does it matter? Choose by price, availability and
convenience, and if you don't want the extended warranty, just say no.

I have recently However the item at the local store was the cheaper
than any price I found on the Net and I annoyed the salesman by knowing
more about the product than he did. He suggested that I needed quite a
few 'expensive' peripheral components to get me up and running. I
pointed out that these were included in the box and if I wanted
replacements they were much cheaper elsewhere!

Correction: nobody with any sense buys their extended insurance. The
products are the same bought from there as they are from anywhere
else.If the product is what you want at a good price, buy it.
