I have got a PVR which I use most of the time.  The HDD is only there 
for the few occasions when there are too many concurrent or overlapping 
programmes for the PVR to cope with even with the +1 channels, and the 
HDD captures the one where I am least likely to be bothered about 
hesitations.

I had thought of trying an SSD to see if it is an improvement, but my 
current HDD is used so rarely that it hasn't been worth spending the 
money.  It might be an option for the OP to consider though, because at 
this stage he hasn't bought anything.
