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.

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.
