Rob: Really Brian I didnt think of that........ well like i say its only time will tell that one day hard drives be consigned to history..... I know there are SSD drives but heard they are not stable or cheap too..... just have to see what happens in future coz sooner or later we have to upgrade to Ultra HD tv system.....I feel technology has moved on very fast pace... not like the old days when the same design lasted 20 years in the 70's and 80s

I had a sky tv installer last month to fit in new LNB on my existing dish. I live 3 story house and the dish is right at the top of the house with 1 metre pole this dish was installed by sky in 1999... Now this installer took one look said no chance i aint doing it.... it took me 3 months to sort it out with sky. as they said i have a new box... which didnt get installed and i had the whole thing canceled. it was very stressful time had phone calls and letters from sky begging me to go back... I will fit a new dish and LNB myself and have freesat put in myself... I am ashamed to admit i am an ex sky installer... I had to sort out everyone elses cock ups..... which made me quit coz i had so much abuse from customers.. when i put it right did i get a thanks mate... nope... so avoid sky if you live over 2 story houses... or pay £200 for a guy to do the dish.... no thanks

Rob: Thats true Mike B i have an 1967 HMV black and white valve set still works as good as new.... true about DVB T2 not many have scart socket or video out for re modulate to RF for old tvs.....

I agree the idea that Sky/Virgin and BT and Talk Talk collecting the payment for BBC but what about people who don't want to subscribe to any of those services? Some tv's have C.A card slots for Pay tv but not all PVR's have that card slot.. so therefore people will have to change their boxes or get a add on box like sky did in the late 80's for pay tv..
Shame they didnt standardise the system so you have a product to use pay tv or not.. .. What about the freesat viewers? will they have to change their boxes to sky box or get another box with pay tv card slot....... there will be alot of unhappy people who have to pay out for a pay tv box

I can see future PVR's having Cloud drive to keep programmes on there... it might be wishful thinking.. who knows
