It's not just £89.95 though is it! It's also an additional £36pa, not including the additional yearly cost of the TV package you have.

Freeview HD recorders may initially be expensive, but they all have two tuners, with one of them (Digistream) allowing you record 2 and watch live tv at the same time.

OK - you can argue that there isn't as much choice with regards to channels, but to be honest, the amount of American TV series that get canned after only one or two seasons I'm starting to wonder whats the point with the extra channels anyway!

I'm still on the sidelines as what to do with regards to my Virgin TV.

Must say though, I'm still very happy with both the broadband and telephone service.
