just wandering do you have to have a HD Tv for the V+HD box or can you use the box thought a Standard definition box. if not is there another box that can, and has three tuners.

thanks for the help

You don't have to have an HD tv. I had my V+ box connected to a normal tv for over 2 years.

You can use the V+ box with a normal TV as I did for a few years.

You can use scart between your V+ and TV and still utilise all the PVR functionality offered by the V+ box.

Edit; You type quicker than me Mags

Yup....or record 2 programmes and watch one you've previously recorded, or on demand...

Very Versatile is V+

Yes - not a problem, I had my original television connected by Scart leads until I changed to HDTV when it's now connected with HDMI lead.

There are two sockets on the back for scart leads - one is for the television, and the other goes to a conventional video/dvd recorder so you can output the saved programmes to video/dvd for back up if you want.
