Currently have two sky+hd boxes.
I did want to get rid of TV totally and just do on demand but flat mates think that's mad.

So what is a decent but cheapish box that also does recording and Netflix, do any do Netflix?

I'm assuming all cabling is fine?
Would dish need realigning?
 
The Sky box won't record without an active subscription.

Which is rubbish. But hopefully make a bit of money back.

such a shame Netflix isn't on freest boxs. I already have Xbox which Netflix is in, how I currently watch it. But less boxes the better.

Where's the customer return ones? Can't see anything on the site.

The only sport ill miss is f1 although BBC do show all races, just not live.

With sky to me, you either go with everything or nothing, as the cheaper tires just add rubbish channels.

And I want to cut my monthly cost, sky is back up to £110 so would save that minus what ever an internet connection would cost me and lovefilm sunpbscription.

As I said already have an Xbox for Netflix, in fact the Blu-ray player might even do Netflix but it hasn't even been connected to the TV for ages.
 
Digging this back up.

What's a cheap box I can record on, as much as I would like on demand/youtube I can use Xbox for that.

Is Humax FOXSAT-HDR or Samsung SMT-S7800 ok anything else? Seems to be reasonably cheap on eBay, something around the £50 mark would be great if possible, can always upgrade latter. I take it any box will be plug and play.

Testing nowtv for a few premium channels atm.
