Good grief, Sein's Dad is 15 months older than me!
I've been using DigiGuide for a long time, I'm running a master and two slaves at the moment, I've had it recording 9 Freeview programmes simultaneously. It's linked to Digiguide, which must be the most effortless way of programming recordings and, if, for instance, a new series of a favourite programme starts and I don't spot it, the system reliably does.

It has all sorts of networking possibilities, which I haven't explored (Maybe I'll catch Cris on a free day, when I'm not a railway worker, soon!), a keen community and they are constantly improving and expanding the software.
