My box is a non recording Manhattan and was £50 a few years ago, so that's good value.

It did have limited On Demand though (ITV Hub and IPlayer only), but the iPlayer was withdrawn. Not sure if the ITV Hub still works of not.

I believe that with some boxes you can now add non Freesat channels to the EPG and record them, which is what i'd buy if I needed a new box.

In answer to your questions, the Humax HDR1100 has WiFi, so it could connect to the internet that way. If it has no internet access it obviously can't provide you with VOD, but it will still receive and record programmes

You can see what other features it has before deciding in its manual here:

Vintage TV have asked that anyone unhappy with channels leaving because of the new charging policy to complain using this link:

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/complain-to-ofcom

Will there be any music channels left after Vintage leaves? Also, even if the new charging policy is amended, how many will come back? When people stop using a service, they sometimes find that they can manage perfectly well without it...
