No HDD?

A tad expensive for a freeview box on its own, even if it is HD. Needs to be a PVR with a 500gb or more HD before im interested.

"Just because a Blueray box costs megabucks".

You can buy brand new Blueray players for under £70. I don't consider that to be megabucks. I do however agree with you on the high expense of this HD receiver.
