It also has the incidental advantage of a down scaled SCART socket output so I can used my DVD/HDD recorder and the modulator.

We never seem to need to record much content so a TIVO or V6 is of limited interest.
So you watch mainly live TV? I couldn't be doing with that! I stopped watching scheduled TV almost 20 years ago. The VHS tapes took over the lounge!
