DVD recorder hard drive which one ?
I recently received a brochure about the change from analogue to digital transmission and apparently my DVD recorder will no longer work after the changeover (I have already invested in a digital TV).I can get a 'box' or a DVD recorder//hard drive. Having read the reviews of the latter on 'Which' I am no further forward, so many seem unreliable or very complicated but I will probably veer towars a Panasonic.
Has anyone bought a DVD recorder /hard drive recently which they can recommend

I don't know enough about DVD recorders Meg except to advise you not to buy a Phillips. I bought one about two years ago and had to return it after six months, they replaced it (same model) a few months later the same thing happened, replaced again. The problem seems to be with the disc opening door, it keeps getting stuck and you can't get a disc in or out. I always had great faith in Phillips, but not anymore, the third recorder also fell by the wayside and I just gave up, now when I want to record anything worth taping I use the cable box recorder, but I prefer to have it on a disc so I can play it anywhere.

I will check it out thank you, I want one with a hard drive this time. It might be beyond my purse though..

I have had Panasonic goods in the past and found them reliable, will add this one to my list too

Anti that model is hard to get hold of now, they only have used ones on Amazon .Ruben
that model is a bit pricey for me .I have gone for Humax PVR9300T 320GB Twin Tuner, PVR which was a 'Which' best buy but has mixed reviews.
It holds 200 hours of recordings. (£149.95 from Amazon )
I am cross that I have to replace equipment at all just because someone has decided we must all have digital instead of analogue in three weeks time
