Now TV (through my Roku)..

That provides me with a good deal of content and I would miss very little of what I currently watch. Apart from the set up cost of the Freeview box, all of this would cost me the small sum of £20.56 per month..
Finally; the preacher actually doing what he's been preaching! (well, thinking about it at least).

Why go to the expense of a Freeview box? Why not just drop your package to TV M? Granted, you don't get every Freeview channel, but I personally find the missing ones no great loss. For the few that are missing, you could always put a USB stick in the back of your Sony TV and record that way.

When I was researching Freeview PVRs a couple of years ago, they all seemed to loose unused series links after six months, only had two tuners. and no Whishlist functionality. Those are a few of the reasons that I choose TV M over a Freeview PVR, when I went down the route that you are now considering.
