Do you have a PC ? because a freeview card is about £35 and you can then record direct to the hard drive at hi quality (almost dvd and much better than vhs but depends on what is broadcast) . You can watch on the pc or if you have video out plug that into your tv. oh and with a little bit of effort you can eliminate the adverts from the recording !

If you want to go mad you can link this to a Hauppauge mediamvp (another £40) and play your recordings over a network on a standard tv(or one in each room etc). (it will also play mp3s) but it can't yet stream live tv direct you have to set it to record and watch the recording (while its being made as it were) .
anyone using Mythtv ?
