Here's a starter for ten on dual tuner freeview hardrive boxes...

http://www.emsee.co.uk/pvr/

Since that was compiled, there is also a dual tuner 80Gb Fusion FVRT145 available at Argos for £124.99.

Read here for all the info you need in general.

I bought a Humax PVR-9200T for ~£200.

It has twin Freeview tuners and a 160Gb hard disk.

Picture quality is excellent and the menu system is very easy to use.
