Need a freeview recorder + a blu ray player. Suggestions please.

[Slinkie]

Hi Folks,

I currently have a HTPC and I want to get rid of it and get stand alone units.
I currently use the HTPC for Blu ray viewing and freeview recording/ viewing. I don't use it to play any movies/ tv shows stored on the harddrive (only the recorded stuff) and don't play games on it as I have a dedicated games machine.

I am looking at selling it and getting a freeview recorder and a blu ray player (or a joint product if they are reasonably priced) to go with a new 1080p TV I am going to get.

I don't want to spend anymore than £350-£400 on both items.

Thanks

Matt

I'll be honest and say that I don't really want a play station as I don't like the look of them. I'd rather spend a bit more moeny and get a couple of stand alone units that look a bit smarter. I wouldn't play games on the ps3 since I have my gaming PC anyway.

Not only does it give you a free games machine (for GT5 if nothing else), but it can also stream JPGs, and some movie formats from your PC.
