"A very popular freeview recording box is the human . It has a built in hard drive and easy to install . (Just connect to your aerial and tune in) follow the instructions for the recording facility. These boxes also come in a freesat box which the signal comes off the 44cm satalite.
I hope this helps

Kind regards

"There are several video calling devices available that are easy to install and use. Here are a few options:

Smartphones: Many smartphones have built-in video calling features, such as Apple's FaceTime or Google Duo. These can be very easy to use, as they don't require any additional hardware or software to be installed.
Tablets: Similar to smartphones, tablets such as the iPad also have built-in video calling features that can be very user-friendly. They typically have larger screens than smartphones, making it easier to see and hear the person you are calling.
Smart displays: Smart displays, such as the Amazon Echo Show or Google Nest Hub, are devices that combine a voice assistant with a screen. They can be used for video calling, as well as other tasks such as streaming music or controlling smart home devices. They are typically very easy to set up and use.
Webcams: If you have a computer, you can use a webcam to make video calls. Many webcams are plug-and-play, meaning they don't require any additional software to be installed. They can be used with a variety of video calling services, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Skype."

"Hi mate.

The easiest & in my opinion best video calling device for a home, would be a ring doorbell.

If you require more information please don’t hesitate to ask.

Many thanks"
