DVD HDD recorders
Hi Peeps,
My poor VHS VCR is on its last legs.
Does anyone have any thoughts about the new fangled DVD HDD recorders?
Things like make, HDD size, DVD+ or DVD-.....
I see some of them have TV guides in them.
Any ideas, comments even sources would be welcome.
Love
LP

I have just bought and installed the new Panasonic DMREH50 DVD recorder. It is a really good example of a recorder in my view.
It is advertised at £399.99 but I bought mine for £321.99 a really nice machine. Best you look on the Panasonic site to see what it offers.
Use Google and you will find.
EDIT: Meant to say that it has a 80gb HDD and as we speak I am making my first recording on it.

Bought a JVC DRM-H20 (80GB HDD) in the UK in Jan.
First one arrived - damaged - delivered by 'Citylink'. Loose bits inside, front panel loose and most of the polystyrene packing broken. Sent it back.
Second arrived - poly side packing broken again, but machine seemed fine. Ran happily until last month when the software 'seized'. JVC say - known software fault. Sent it back.
Third(!) arrived 10 days ago, apparently undamaged!! So far seems to be working fine.
As long as you can get one undamaged and without a software fault, they are great!
NB See this thread about problems with PDC timing
