First of all it is Humax, which means that it is simple to operate and bomb proof. By far the best of the Freeview HD PVRs. Has twin tuners and in the right circumstances can record two channels whilst viewing two more.
Only caution is to ensure that you can receive Freeview from your existing aerial and can receive Freeview HD. That means that you will need to check HD transmissions for your area.
Reception can be checked at:

Final word, you will need a broadband Ethernet connection for BBC iPlayer, (minimum download speed 1.5mbps).

I've got the standard def version of that and have been really pleased with it. had it for a couple of years now. There was a software bug that caused it to crash, but that was fixed with a firmware update (available over the air). Apart from that it has been really reliable, and I love the series-link and the ability to record one thing whilst watching another (both live and pre-recorded).
I have had Sky HD for quite a time but with a top range Panasonic 37 inch TV I really don't see HD as a super experience. It looks better but not "Wow". That includes Sky Sports.
My son with his 42 inch doesn't feel its worth chasing yet. He dropped Sky HD for BT Vision. My daughter has probably a 50 inch and they love the sport on Sky HD.
So I will wait for HD to come to me. I think Sudbury changes over in Aug 2011 and I will switch back to get "Look East" mainly but I guess HD will be there.
As I really only have Sky for rugby and I now get Sky Sports 1 & 2 with BT Vision (£13.50 month extra) I think Sky is for the bin.
I certainly feel you have to be 40 inch or over to really get benefit of HD.
