I've got MySky+ with Sky Basic but my family only really watch the FTA channels. Hence a FreeviewHD PVR makes a lot more sense.
My wife likes the MySky+ unit and hence I'm after a PVR that is at least as user friendly as MySky+.
Looking through the forums here it appears the MagicTV MTV3700TD would be a good option. My only concern is that it is over 2 years old and that a new model may released soon. Does anyone know if any new models are planned for the near future? This is potentially only a minor concern as the hardware appears fine and they seem to regularly release updates.
The other option I considered were some of the Panasonic units. My main issue with these though is that you can't record two channels and watch a third on the unit as you can with Magic TV (don't want to have to switch back to TV). People also seem to have many issues with the EPG and recordings.
Has anyone swapped from MySky to MagicTV and found it works well? Are the Panasonic units actually reasonable options? Are there any other units I should be considering?
Thanks.
