Which DVD Recorder to buy?
Hello Chaps,
The girlfriend wants to get me a DVD recorder for me birthday...
just looking for some ideas. I don't want one with HDD as i have Sky+. Looking to spend about £150ish.
Any good ideas?
Cheers Guys.

I just got a Panasonic DMR-ES10, multi-region from Richer Sounds for £129.95. It seems to work very well - records to DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM. Plays DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, CD-R and CD-RW including MP3. No problem with RCE discs. The picture quality seems at least as good as my old Toshiba SD-9000, which was a top-of-the-range player in its day and which set me back £650

Why not get a DVD writer for your PC? You can get a good one for £40. Since you've got sky+, I assume you need it for making copies etc.? The PC one will do this and a lot cheaper. Sure you can wire the HDD recorder to your PC to make copies of progs made off the TV etc.

I can highly recommend the Panasonic DMRES20D, it comes with a freeview tuner and also records to DVDRAM disks, which means you can start watching a programme while the recorder is in the middle of recording it.
I just bought one for £149 from Richer Sounds.

I got the Toshiba RDXS34 for my birthday last June. Its pretty good, does all the formats, has time slip etc.The DVD player is prog scan too and pretty good. Whatever you get go for as big a HD as you can, mine is 120GB and I fill it all the time...

Good point about HD, though high definition recorders and media will still be expensive for a few years. I'll be waiting to see what happens with the HD-DVD vs Blu-ray format war, and the inevitable region coding / copy protection debacle that will go with it.
