There are several players out there at the moment (I am excluding HDD players with a DVD writer):

These are:
Thomson DHD4000 - twin tuner (record two different channels at the same time), 40gb drive, top rated, ugly as hell
Fusion FVRT100/150 - twin tuner, 40/80 gb drive, second rated, better looking
Humax PVR-8000T - only a single tuner (only record one channel), 40/80gb drive, best looking, only one tuner though..

HDD's are upgradeable if you know how - loads of how to links around..

These are the best deals at the moment:
Thomson DHD4000: unbeatable - £159+p&p, QED same price.
Fusion FVRT100/150: unbeatable - £170/£200
Humax PVR-8000T: QED - £138

So. If you're in the hunt, this may be of some assistance. As I'm in the hunt, if you know anything (new models coming out, better deals etc) post here.

If this makes you say "Huh", then as you were, move on, nothing to see here
are you in a cable area? Telewest are bringing out a PVR later this year with 3 tuners / decoders and a big HD. I guess NTL will follow soon afterwards as well. Add VoD service on top of that and it makes Freeview look a little less attractive?
