Hi everyone, new member - be gentle.

I've been after a digital recorder for a while, deciding that the Toshiba XS34 (160GB all the formats, ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£280) was the best bet. I've carried on looking as as good as it is, there's little/no EPG or scheduling beyond the painful (at least the last time I had a recorder) Video+.

So over the last couple of days I've been checking out the Freeview PVRs that at least offer some sort of EPG/Scheduling, the Topfield 5800T (160GB, two tuners, EPG, ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£280) and the Inverto IDL 7000T (similar price and feature-set excluding the 50% HDD [80GB]).

I'm wondering now, if any of those can (/ be modded to) eat the raw Telewest feed - as the PVRs above do with the Freeview feed. Otherwise is there anything else out there that can do it and throw out ethernet or a/v to a seperate recorder?

Thanks to anyone getting this far

Wet with anticipation,
Mark.
