after using a KV, any box will seem like living in the furure
Sadly H2h is no longer being made, none of the lower end Cable boxes are, H3.2tc or H5.2tc, so it'll be a H7 or H9 which are far more powerful, just make sure you pick one with a DVB-C (cable) tuner
You can record direct with these boxes, just use a USB or HDD and away you go, they also handle IPTV easily and aslo satellite in most cases, it all depends on your budget and what you want to achive
