If you dont mind a refurbished one, they are £39 direct from Humax, mine was like new with 12 months warranty.
Bargain. I had the equivalent Humax Freeview box with an external HDD - worked a treat.
Alternatively, If you have half decent technical PC knowledge and an extra £30 you could consider a Wetek OpenElec box with dual Sat tuners for £99. With a bit of installing and tweaking you can get it to run Kodi + TVHeadend etc and make it a full blown PVR with all the other benefits of Kodi.
I got mine to replace a Sky HD box - recording stuff to a NAS drive rather than local HDD..
Granted it isnt as stable as a Humax or Sky box - but the flexibility and additional features more than makes up for it.

Good deal and great boxes, but bear in mind this one has not got the hard drive to record (I don't know if you can add one though).

Agreed the benefits of tvheadend are massive, you could also get just the PCTV Systems DVB-T2 292e nanoStick HD with twin hd tuners and use a pre-existing machine. Although at close to £50 and set up time it's hard to turn down the humax at the price it's at. HEAT!
I love my Wetek for a lot of things, but I've pretty much given up trying to use it as a satellite box.

I have had two Foxsat HDR boxes for about 5 years. Best thing I ever bought. Do yourself a favour and buy a dual tuner with internal HD version instead of this. They come up on ebay quite often for around £100 or less. Oh and buy Humax not Panasonic Freesat because the latter suck big time

If you're happy with Freeview you could get the Human T1000 which includes hard disk for £67.50, nice unit and mine arrived as new. There was a 10% discount floating around that made the additional P&P charges free.
Word of warning Human Direct Customer Support is appalling, they lie (multiple times to me), don't answer emails but as long as you receive a working unit you'll get a bargain.

Just bought one.:smile: £47 with cheapest delivery option, though it is next-day.
My ageing Technisat PVR can spend it's final years taking it easy. :wink:

Strange when I got a duff refurbished freesat box last year, they were excellent in getting it replaced!

The 6 years cover sounds good for £9.99 as well.
