  • I want to be able to record TV to watch later. What's the best option? Buy a recorder box, buy a TV that allows recording onto some external media or something else? I don't want to give BT, Sky or Jeff Bezos any of my money in the process.

  • My Samsung telly has a usb in the back which allows recording of telly. It’s got a hdd in there right now. I think it’s a common feature.

    Betamax

  • Cheap but complicated option is a raspberry pi with a TV tuner and something like MythTV.

    Easier is something like a HDHomeRun and Plex.

    Easier still is get a Humax tuner/recorder

    (Personally I have Virgin TV which is an even better option in terms of ease of use and options but obviously needs installing first.)

  • You can buy a youview box, normally cheap second hand on ebay, gives you the ability to series record etc without subscription, and is pretty easy to use etc.
