Consider the Humax 9300T
Bought this in January, although it may have been superseded by a newer model by now. Very pleased with it, no faults or niggles at all.

Whatever make and model you go for, make sure it is labelled as "Freeview +"

Be warned - switch off the supposed accurate recoding function. This is because it relies on the broadcaster sending a signal to the box to start and stop recording - they are all, to varying degrees, unreliable - it's common for the first few minutes of a programme to be missed, and not unknown for for more than half to be missed, or sometimes the whole programme. It is still easy to set the recording times using the electronic programme guide even with accurate recording switched off.
