I'm not sure unreality understand what I'm asking for so good luck. I just have freeview, no cable where I live and Sky can't put dish in duecto hill and trees out back. Signal on TV okay unless it's very windy or heavy rain. ( so most of the time.) I wanted to be able to record programmes and was told to buy a Humax and it's rubbish, when I watch TV through Humax most of the channels break up so can't record anything through it but when I turn to ordinary TV the signal isn't bad. Can I buy just a recorder to record through my ordinary TV?
