I use a Digistar 811U unit which has PVR function, however records to an external drive, not built in. Does the job tho quite happily, do a search on this site and youll find a lot of info on them. The EPG is lacking however, only does 1 day at a time.

Was $120 from TradeMe a while back , I think they have a slightly newer model available now.
