40hrs will be plenty and I doubt I'll need to record two channels at once.
My main concern is cost, I just need it to be cheap and reliable.

I had a look round my local Currys and Maplin this afternoon to see what
they had. Currys had the Digifusion FVRT90 for �95, which basically appears
to be the same model as the �120 Ferguson minus the Top-up TV card slot.
Maplin had a Yamada DTV3000 twin tuner 80Gb for �130, though the only
reviews of this that come up on Google seem to be in French.

I'm most tempted by the Digifusion right now, mainly for the price. I just
need to do some more Googling to get other users opinions.
