RE: Video Recorder + email + mother in law

Looks interesting, but lots of set-top boxes become vaporware and all the partners are UK (which I am not, unluckily).

 

 

Thanks,

Do a search for YouView – new set top boxes but not out ‘till next year I think.

My technophobic mother in law is complaining that the dvd thingy won't let her record Poirot and Emerdale. Which actually means the VHS machine is broken beyond repair. Also my wife and kids want to be able to email mum/grandma.

 

So I thought, this'll be easy, someone must sell a nice net-top box with integrated digital (Freeview) PVR features, the ability to send emails and I'm lucky Skype like VoIP all wrapped in a _very_ intuitive user interface.

 

Unfortunately the internet seems broken and all references to this product have been removed!

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Cheers,
