One of these ?
The digital tuner pushes the price up but there's a 26" for £398.99

Tricky. by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #3 Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 12:01:50 PM EST

I mean, Evesham are good, and they've been around for donkey's years, but you're still not getting a PVR as part of the deal. I'd forgotten to put Evesham into the equation, but I think they're to be preferred if we go for a shop option.

Then the cheapest option by Phage (4.00 / 1) #5 Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 12:06:05 PM EST

Would be your 'media' PC with a stonking great monitor and a dual tuner card. A few people in the office here have done that.

: I'm pretty sure by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #6 Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 12:17:59 PM EST

that it's no big deal to hook something like this up to a monitor with a DVI input, but I'm not sure who's done it, and how the processing the recorder does improves the image, e.g. with aliasing on tennis nets looking frankly awful in interlaced mode.

I used to use a Mac Mini by Dr Thrustgood (4.00 / 1) #2 Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 11:31:01 AM EST

with a video in thingymajig.

When it worked, it worked quite well, albeit with really irritating 5 second lag between output on the tuner -> gizmo -> mac mini -> display. Made channel changing a nightmare.

If you don't watch a lot of telly, though, I couldn't fault it for watching DVDs and the like.

: I'm hoping a dedicated media box won't have that. by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #4 Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 12:02:45 PM EST

It looks as if ugly nasty avaricious magazines with reviews may have to be bought. Urgh!
