Digital USB Freeview Recorder

I just bought a really handy bit of kit.
It's a digital freeview recorder, but instead of the usual hard drive it has 3x USB ports on the front which enables you to make a timed or instant recording from any freeview channel & record it to either a USB stick or a extrnal hard drive.

You can then either just watch it back on the tv like a normal recorder or plug it in to your laptop & watch your recorded tv.
It records in DVD quality MPEG-2 format, a half hour recording is about 1Gig.
It will either play on your laptop through a dvd player, if you have one installed or you may have to download a codec pack to play it in Windows Media Player (i had to do this)

It's on offer in Tesco's at the moment, reduced from £80 down to £60
Grundig GUDB20USB3.

awesome thanks for the heads up
