Hi all,

The parents are looking at Freeview. Does anyone have recommendations on FreeviewHD receivers, that have:

- storage (preferably internal, ideally expandable/replaceable with a larger disk) to hold recordings
- at least two tuners, to record two or more shows simultaneously
- a decent UI

Any thoughts appreciated :)

I would recommend the MagictV 3700. Has large hard drive for storage and very nice UI and of course the Freeview EPG which is not as nice as rest.  Very user friendly and really nice unit. JB Hifi sell them and at times as low as $477
