From the looks of it, not all the Humax have on demand functionality and / or may need an extra bit.
I don't know our TV specs, but I doubt it's HD which means having an HD freeview box/recorder might not be worth it anyway.
I think you're right. I'll get a chromecast and the cheapest freeview box I can find*. Then see how it goes.
Thanks for bearing with all the questions. I. Feel. So. Old.
Incidentally, if anyone has a working freeview box they don't want, let me know.
*my other half wants regular TV.

The Chromecast requires an HDMI input, so if your TV isn't HD you may struggle to connect it. Possibly you could run it through an adaptor to SCART or something but I don't know if that'd work/how easy it'd be. For the price you can pick a cheap HD flatscreen up for these days (with freeview tuner built in), I'd def consider that plus a CC.

Now is the time to type your TV model numbers into google and find out what you actually have.
It's not your age that causes your consternation. This market is an absolute minefield, with descriptions designed to confuse and obfuscate.

There's rarely anything worth recording (or watching) on freeview and all the decent stuff is either on demand or torrent it and stream, get a chromecast and don't bother with the STB for a month, then get one then if you feel you need it.
