Hi there,
Long time looker, in frequent poster!

So i want a PVR that can do the basics
Record 2 Freeview channels while watching a 3rd.
Nice big HDD (e.g. 1TB)
EPG
Easy to use interface
Series recording
Not too pricey (<$400).

I also want to be able to plug in my current HDD and play all the movies and other media files i have  gathered over the years. I really would like one 'box' that can do it all and can play all the various formats (JPEG, MP3, MP4, DivX, AVI, VOB, MKV). 

So in my trawling of the web i found this Digistar DS-920 on trademe which is cheap....but i'm wondering if "what you pay for is what you get"? 

I have read a number of reviews about Tivo, magic box etc.... Tivo is looking good at the moment, especially the price! but they can't play these all formatted files (please correct me if I'm wrong!)

I have read most of the posts on the Digistar 811(insert letter here) and they sound quite good, but those posts are quite old now.

So any opinions on the current models of these Digistars or anyone got another alternative machine they have used and ticks all the above boxes?? 

 Thanks
