I know this is rather off topic but I don't know of a TV group (is there
one?).

Freeview... Having just bought a standard set top box I was amazed to
discover that one is unable to watch one channel while recording another.
Does anyone know of an alternative STB which can do both jobs with the
simple press of a button?


If you want to watch one digital channel while recording another, the best,
if not *only* way (presuming no digital telly) is to daisychain 2 STBs
together. There is one by (dare I say it?) Bush being advertised for only
£40 atm. (Not an undue amount, IMO.)

Avoid the £99 Philips boxes as they are not too reliable atm, apparently.
(What is it with Philips these days? - They seem to be going through a bit
of a bad patch?)
