Hi!

Go to Expensive World and buy one of their USB Freeview receivers (from

Most units come with time-settable recording software.


Yes, I have often wondered whether this would be a good solution. I
have been put off by the worries in the reviews about compatability
with Windows XP SP2 and the quality of reception from the supplied
aerial. Still, if it records in MP3 - so that I can burn a CD if I
need to this might be worth a look. Of course, like many of us I am
running out of USB ports.

You won't like DAB quality, believe me.


Interesting this. Maybe I'm getting old but I find DAB Ok for Radio 3,
provided that the BBC don't fiddle with the bit rate again!

Many thanks for the suggestion.

Best regards
