TalkTalk TV Plus box review: is it good?

In what ways is it unique from the TalkTalk TV Box?

Although the two TV set-top boxes offered by TalkTalk are somewhat similar, there are two significant variations. The main distinction is that while the TalkTalk TV Box allows you to pause and rewind live TV or watch on-demand programming for anything you missed, the TV Plus Box also allows you to record live TV.

Hardware: TalkTalk TV Plus Box

The TalkTalk TV Plus Box features a hard drive inside that allows you to record and save programmes to the box itself, making it significantly larger than the TV box. You can simultaneously record two programmes.

The 300GB hard drive allows you to keep up to 185 hours of live TV in SD on the device. Remember that the only programmes on your box are the ones you record from live television, although this can seem low compared to other set-top boxes with 1TB of capacity. Any shows you rent or buy from the TalkTalk TV store are streamed to your set-top box and do not take up any room.
