HD PVR - What are the Differences

[Muzzthegreat]

Hi All,

So this question has probably been asked a thousand times but with the launch of the new HD PVR, I would like some advice.

Apparently there are the 2 HD's - Pace and UEC and now the launch of the baby HD. So which way do you go? is it even worth it at this stage or is SD PVR still the way to go. I know when it first came out, there were a lot of bugs and issues, have these been resolved?

I'm thinking of getting the HD but just looking for some advice on which way to go.

Thanks for the help.

Cannot really help you, I'm using a Pace pvr and that is a piece of crap, always hanging, then you reset and and a few hours later the same thing. Maybe the rest is also bad, maybe it's mc but it's frustrating like hell
