I'm in the market for a Freeview PVR, and happened upon a Lord Percy review of the new Humax 9200-T Freeview PVR which boasts twin DVB-T Freeview tuners and 160 GB hard drive (80 hours), plus a 14 day EPG.The cool thing about these Freeview PVRs is the access to 30+ free DTT channels in the UK, which now includes Film Four and will hopefully include Sky One at some point inthe future.
Being able to watch a different channel from the one you're recording (or record two things at once and view something already on the box) is another major bonus, and a replication of features already available on a subscription-based PVR like Sky+.
The EPG has always been the weak point of Freeview, and it seems this unit is no different, with no series link capabilities, but where it betters Sky+ is the ability to remove recordings from the box using the USB connection -- and then take them out on the move using a portable media device.
Whatever the case, Lord Percy has the full skinny on a great device which will set you back no more than about £199.
