I don't want to confuse you ladies with technical matters, but it's concerning a recent invention we call television.

It's a magic box in the corner of our living rooms that does pretty much what your wireless does, but with pictures too!

I don’t have a smart tv, mine is a Panasonic plasma television.

Please could someone advise me? Thank You.
I was a fan of Topfield PVRs they are very reliable have twin tuners etc. Mine are getting a bit long in the tooth but still going strong not that I use them much these days when all TV programs are available on line with in hours of going to air. I am not sure they are still being sold but you see second hand Topfields on Ebay.

Main thing is to make sure what ever you buy has two tuners.

I use a Panasonic recorder/player. We do a lot of recording and it's good.

We still have our old Bush Twin Recorder for Freeview. So simple to set up and use.

Muddy and Mups, Did you ever have a video recorder to record your television programmes? If you did, the device l am talking about, is a modern version of those.

Re: What Do You Record Your Television Programmes On?

Hi Art

This has all been discussed before so easier to just go look at this thread:

https://www.over50sforum.com/showthr...ght=miraclebox

As you will see from my post in there I use a Miraclebox PVR which has 3 Freeview tuners inside it allowing me to record up to 12 separate programmes simultaneously (spread over 3 multiplexes)

Hi Realist, Thanks for that. l admit, l didn’t look first. I should have done but maybe the two threads could be joined up?

Is the Miraclebox easy to use?

It might well be, but it's not generally available and it costs at least £339 from a specialist supplier:

I would suggest that a Humax would be a good idea because it seems that there are at least half a dozen posters on this forum alone who would be able to help in the event of a query .....

Once set up yep, pretty much but it's paced choc full of functionality so the vast number of options and settings could overwhelm I suppose.

The thing is it's an Open Source box, which means anyone can develop an operating system for it so you can choose which to use from a variety out there. I chose something called OpenVix. I can't remember now how I loaded it up but it would have been fairly easy. Probably connected the box to my laptop and simply downloaded it.

If you're looking for a really simple plug in and go box, it may not be suitable.
