Recording from digital TV - alternative to sky plus / upc digital+

Hi My mother wants to start recording from digital tv and does not like the idea of getting a upc box (the equivalent of the sky plus box, we have upc unfortunately!) as you can't store the content indefinitely and you are very reliant on it if it breaks etc. Can you use a dard drive recorder or anything else, to record…

Hi
My mother wants to start recording from digital tv and does not like the idea of getting a upc box (the equivalent of the sky plus box, we have upc unfortunately!) as you can't store the content indefinitely and you are very reliant on it if it breaks etc. Can you use a dard drive recorder or anything else, to record one channel whilst watching another? A guy in a TV shop today told her with a HD recorder you can only record the channel you are watching / have on at the time, which is not much good in her opinion!

thanks a million for the help guys - I don't know much about these things myself

Dont touch that !!!! The remote is the most complicated yoke I have seen. Sky+ or UPC Digital + is easy peasy compared to this animal. Google it and you'll find the reviews of it - almost all are of the opinion that it is a poor unit. The manual is awful. Definitely NOT for the non-technically minded.
