Nothing to watch on the box
The girls of the Castle are complaining that the Freeview box no longer works properly even after retuning. I guess I need to pay the price of progress and buy a new one. I gather it needs to be HDMI, and needs a HDD. Is that right? What else do should it have? Any suggestions of what to buy?

I'd get a new flatscreen HD ready TV which comes with freeview built in. A seperate tuner can be a pain if you move the TV around.

Just watch TV on your computers, and tell them where to stick their licence.
Until the bbc's PC tax comes in, that is.

Take a look on ebuyer.com - they have some good deals of flat-screen tellies with Freeview built in. You can get ones that double up as PC monitors, though they cost more.
An HDD Freeview box (not usually available as a built-in option) will video stuff for you - some of them will do more than one channel at a time and nearly all of them will allow you to watch one channel and record another.
