Hi, I've done a fair bit of reading on the forum over the last few days but can't conclusively come to a decision.
Here's what I have:
- Active VM BB
- Inactive Sky TV
- Both Sky and Cable cables in the wall
Here are my requirements:
- HD channels
- Record one or more channels while watching another
- Good box for around £100
Someone mentioned the new Technomate TM-Nano SE M2 PLUS. I was under the impression I need a box with 2 tuners which does cable only:
1. If this is the case, isn't the Technomate option a little overkill? (as I won't need the Sky connection).
2. Is there any benefit to buying the Technomate and plugging in the inactive sky cable as well as 2 cable connections (with a splitter) ?
3. Are there any other options on my budget which may be better suited to my needs?
I may end up buying two of the same box as I also have another room which has a VM BB and TV connection
Thank you for your time. I realise it seems like I'm asking the same question as others on here recently but after reading their threads I haven't found an answer. I've seen the list of cable boxes on another thread but it doesn't seem to rank them by any sort of useful measure. It meerly lists a few pros and cons of some of them. I need a much more narrow scope for answers based on my budget and needs.
