Hi all

 

First post for a while so sorry it's so OT...

 

I've had a Freeview PVR for a few years now - it mainly records stuff off the radio - and it does a good job.   The problem is that it doesn't have an ethernet connection and with iplayer now very convenient, I'm very much thinking of dropping Virginmedia.

 

So I want a PVR which can:

* Provide iplayer via ethernet

* Record from a radio station via epg and series link.

 
About two years ago we tried a Topfield for the similar reasons. It was unrelaible and kept crashing even after software updates so we gave up on it and now use a Humax, which does not have additional conectivity features.
