Page 1 of DVD Recorder? Any suggestions? Help needed

I am looking to buy a DVD recorder either now or after Xmas. Basically it has to be Multi-Region and affordable. I have seen the MICO in Sainsburys for £199, but I think that I can get better than that.

Dont really want to go above £250, can anyone help with their wealth of knowledge?

and go to dvd recorders,it`s quite a good site.

You`re really stuck putting a £250 ceiling on your spend because most of the "quality" brands start around the £300. Although a lot of people will argue, the Philips machines seem very good quality, and the Panasonic machines offer some very advanced features. You`re taking a bit of a gamble with the lower price range as you`ll be dealing with largely unknown names but that doesn`t seem to be a great problem with the player market. Multiregion can be a bit of a problem. You`ll know of course that recorders don`t record any region flags, and multiregioning is only relevant to playback. Players that have been multi-hacked like some of the Philips machines have developed problems when firmware has been upgraded on hacked machines. If you have the room, a multiregion player and a recorder is the best option.

The Panasonic E50 is readily available multiregion for £250. :)

Bowfer, where can I get this for £250? the cheapest I have seen is £290 plus postage.

There are plenty of sites offering the Panasonic and Philips machines below £250.
Keeping away from Mico/Grundig supermarket cheapies is a good move.After all,would you buy a tin of peas from Sevenoaks Sound and Vision?

Thought £199 was cheap for an E50...
