BT vision box as cheap PVR?

A question about : BT vision box as cheap PVR?

My daughter has just moved into a new rental and, although she has a new TV licence and a cardless Sky box for TV reception, she has no way of recording programmes.

A friend has offered her a working BT Vision box and I was wondering whether she could just connect that up (it appears to have 2 scart sockets so connection to the Sky box and TV would not be a problem) to enable her to record.

TV streaming box for an old TV ( got Scart, no hdmi)

A question about : TV streaming box for an old TV ( got Scart, no hdmi)

Im still clinging onto an old CRT TV that doesn't have HDMI inputs (RGB Scart/phono red white yellow) The TV works perfectly well ( coupled to a digital TV recorder ) and if it isnt broken then why replace it?

However I would also like to have access to the likes of netflix, and the main cathcup services ( iplayer, itv player, 4od, demand 5 etc)

At the moment my options seem to be:
Buy a new smart TV - expensive, especially as the the current one works fine

Am thinking of buying this. Right size, I like LG (I think) - good reputation ? Like 5 yr guarantee.

Some Qs though as I have never had a tv connected to a computer.

How to view/stream an episode from a year old TV series

A question about : How to view/stream an episode from a year old TV series

I recorded Homeland series 3 last year and am currently viewing it. For some reason which I have only just realised, episode 8, The Red Wheelbarrow, failed.
Is there some way I can download this episode on my IPad (I have Chromecast) without subscribing to something like Netflix?
Thank you.
