PlayTV updated to 1.21

Does anyone actually have one of these?

I think Rupert Eurogamer’s got one.

@ Blerk, I thought the same although around six or seven people on my friends list use it o_O

I bet Rupert didn’t pay for his!

Um. Is that an analog aerial port?

I have one, I use it to record TV while im at work, or Ill record something and then watch another channel. It also looks better than my TVs in-built Freeview.

Also I got it in the Woolies “get rid of everything” sale. So it was cheap as chips.

I’ve got one. It’s pretty good although recordings seem to glitch a lot for reasons unknown (live TV is fine). There a few interface problems + lack of any form of series link but overall it’s a nice bit of kit.

@Patrick what other sort of aerial port is there? Freeview arrives the same way as the old analogue signal.

My friend here at work bought a cheap telly with DVR functionality built-in. You just plug any old USB device into a socket and it’ll record to it and play back from it – memory stick, external drive, whatever. Proper awesome!

Unfortunately Freeview HD is going to use DVB-T2 for broadcast in the UK, so no HD compatibility for us here I believe.

So none of you guys above have had any weird issues with it?
Was looking at this a few weeks ago but most of the reviews bad mouthed it.

I’ve got one and swear by it. Vastly superior interface to any other digital tv recorder I’ve used.

I considered it, but without integration with Sky / Virgin it really wasn’t much use to me.
