DVD recorders and going to the loo, etc
Many of the new recorders enable you to for example make a visit or take a phone call while watching a live TV broadcast (through the recorder) and then resume when you come back. The backlog is transparently recorded to the hard drive.
The name for this feature varies but you know what I mean.
I am trying to buy one of these, Panasonic DMR-EX95VEBS, but it doesn't say it does it, and none of the shops know either. The mfg website doesn't mention it.
But this one has DVD-RAM (random access DVD recording) and a 250GB hard drive. How come it doesn't do it?
Is this feature so common that nobody bothers to list it in the specs anymore?
The other curious thing is why some DVD recorders that contain a hard drive appear to use the DVD-RAM for the backlog storage, and not the HD. The HD is a far more obvious way to do it.
