I bought a talktalk youview box brand new off ebay for £60.00 18 months ago when I ditched sky. It has all of the demand players. It has two HD tuners which are better than the one that LG gives you. I know as on my last LG from 2011 and my current 2015 one the picture is better using the box. Oh and you can pause, rewind and record live tv. Perfect......It's a Huawei DN370t. The DN371t and DN372t are the later models. You shouldbe able to pick a used one up for about £35.00.

The box has never failed to record a scheduled recording and I can definitely recommend it. The box isn't wireless but you can soon make it so by using an ethernet adapter. I use the sky wireless adapter which works a treat.

It plugs into a hdmi socket on the tv, so it will work with any tv that has one, it even comes with the hdmi cable

Get a youview box

Avoid Huawei as pretty slow and buggy

Get a humax

I recommend a bt dtr-t2100 which go for £60 on ebay

I have a Huawei DN370t. It is not slow or buggy at all. It's certainly a lot faster at changing channels and populating the tv guide in comparison with my LG 50LB650v and some of the newer models of LG and Samsung.

I also have the dtr-2100 which I haven't tried yet.

Prepare to change your mind about the Huawei not being slow

Instant epg, boots in 3 seconds, instant channel change, plays iplayer etc within 2 seconds

We will see. Looks like I should have tried my dtr-2100 sooner lol but am desperately trying to watch what I taped on the Huawei.

I will use you advice as a guide and report back the comparison. I had assumed the slowness to populate the tv guide was a 'feature' with Youview as a friend has the BT Humax model before the dtr-2100 and he said that is also a bit slow to populate the guide. In comparison with my tv though and a couple of the Samsung tv's I was looking at recently it' s not too bad. My LG is very slow at populating anything but that is due to WEBOS 1. Not a good advert for LG in my opinion and although WEBOS 2 is a lot faster it is still an awful system in my opinion.

Yep the humax dtr1000 is slow for boot and epg. You'll be impressed. Can't you have both plugged in but the humax doing new recordings?

Yes I can do that. In fact I should have done that ages ago and use the dtr-2100 to record everything while I watch my recorded stuff on the old one.
