My parents are looking at getting a MyFreeviewHD set top box, with twin tuners so they can watch a channel and record another at the same time. When getting our aerial sorted out, the guy recommended the Panasonic DMR-XW380GZK which is $591 at JB HiFi right now.
Looking around, that price seems to be about right, but I am slightly worried about the size of the HDD. AT 250GB, it will be used up quickly, especially if recording HD programs. I have looked into it and it seems to me that the USB port on the DMR is not able to be used with an External HDD to add more storage - is this right?
I have seen other MyFreeviewHD boxes out there, such as the MagicTV 3700 (with a 500gb HDD), and I was wondering whether anyone had experience with either (or both) units and had any recommendations (I am open to other suggestions also).
Thanks for any help.
