RE: Help! - which DVD recorder with HDD...?

Thanks guys... I`m going to have a closer look at the Pioneer 420... I have a Pioneer 444 which has been good and still going strong, so I already like Pioneer.

I shall be using the machaine mainly from the HDD, so the media type isn`t a big issue, but the option to backup stuff to be played on another machine may be usefull.

Cheers, Paul

RE: Help! - which DVD recorder with HDD...?

....anybody....? Please help!

Seem to have a shortlist now...

Pioneer DVR 520
Panasonic DMR E85
Toshiba RD XS34
Panasonic DMR EH50

Anybody have any views on these (or similar) models?

Thanks, Paul

Help! - which DVD recorder with HDD...?

I`ve been reading all the arguements about what formats to have and what makes, and even what`s faulty if it can`t play certain media! - and I`m lost!!

I want a (first) DVD recorder with HDD that is not too expensive, say £300ish limit.

I`m not too bothered about the format it records in as most of the time it will be used as a HDD PVR. My Pioneer 444 seems to play most things I put in it, and if not the XBOX plays will. Not bothered about DVD-RAM as the HDD will be doing the work.

I only have a 29" Tosh CRT TV, so Prog Scan etc not an issue.

EPG would be nice, and something like IR Blaster to control the NTL DigiBox.

Been looking at the Panny e85 or the (new) H50, but I`d consider anything! (was looking at the LiteOn 5045 until I read some reviews)

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Paul
