Best Freeview HD Recorder?

Sky is going up in price, the sports I watch have gone onto BT Sport etc so time to get rid.

What would you recommend?

I'm avoiding Bush/Logik/Goodmans etc as I want cheap but I want good....

I'd still go combined recorder / blu ray player myself ... But what's your budget ?

Was looking at £100 but no chance looking at prices.

Sky costs me over £300 a year.
What would you recommend? Never seen a combined one.

My mum needs a new TV and so will need a Blu Ray player which I have and rarely use so could work out well.

Couldn't you phone BT up and ask them what it would cost extra a month to have a youview box from them?

Want to get monthly costs down ideally. I'm not that flush and I like to have my monthly payments so I'm never struggling with money whilst I have a job. I might be out of work in August anyway.

Combined have been around a while ... but nowhere near £100

I'm very happy with my Humax HDR Fox-T2 with custom firmware. Some richer sounds shops have a few left.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll be looking into this when my mum decides what way she wants to go.
