Re: OT: Digital TV, Sky+, hard disc recorders and stuff

I'm thinking that
getting a proper digital-compatible aerial installed, along with a hard disc
recorder (w/digital tuner) and a separate set-top box (so I could watch
digital channels independently of the HD recorder), would be a much better
idea in the long term than paying Sky £10/month for something that I don't
actually own.

Also, is there a HD recorder (with digital tuner) on the market with a
separate output (SCART/Coaxial) so one can watch a separate channel to
what's being recorded? Or is that basically what the twin-tuner ones do
(though presumably they'd prevent you from being able to record two things
at a time) ??

Yes. You can get single and twin tuner units. Sensible money being
around £250 for the twin tuner.

Humax and Topfield are the best ones to go for.

Here's a good list:
