A good Feature rich DVD/HDD freeview recorder

Advantages: good picture easy to record, lots of conectivity
Disadvantages: The Price

from my experience I have not had any problems at all. the instillation is very simple as you are just walked through the options step buy step the hard work is done for you. The remote control is simple as well were as its all 1 press of a button to get where you need. The recording quality can be very good if you have it on the highest quality but will reduce the hours to record which is 80 Hours. can record upto 400 hours at that length the picture ...
...The playback of DVD is as good as you could expect from a DVD player it has realist colours and the sound is in stereo recordings can be copied from DVD to HDD or the other way around without having to watch them by 1 button press. The included free view receiver has everything a standard box including teletext and has a fine picture to it. It was easy to tune in as it searches for the channels its self. you will get all the channels you get on a ...

Good format support and cool features.

Advantages: Good range of supported formats, good quality recording, easy to use
Disadvantages: Strange "staying on" issue, no HDMI input

I brought this DVD player a year ago when moving into a new flat with my partner. It records several DVD formats and can play back DVD's and CD's. It can also be used as a Digital Tuner if the TV does not have its own. I was looking for a DVD player that was going to be most compatible with recording and playback of different disc formats whilst also featuring a digital tuner. I have used it to record onto DVD-RW and DVD+RW with the same high quality ...
...eject that some discs will need finalizing before being used in other players, this is great if like me you would otherwise forget if you'd recorded something for a friend. Other supported formats include: normal CDs (normal audio and mp3s), DVD RAM discs, DVD-R, DVD+R. Some notable formats which are not supported are photo-cd's and DivX video discs. This unit is around average size for a DVD recorder (430x330x60) and fits in a standard TV unit. ...

DMR -EZ48VEBK; at the price sold refurbished - awesome!

Advantages: The VEIRA link gives the Panasonic DMR the best picture qualities for products of it's kind.
Disadvantages: The connections liable to disturbanced by movement of the DMR; the handbook too complicated!

...helping me set up the Panasonic DMR will be his epitaph -helpful always and like Eddy's - reliable and there when needed. Only one glitch; the HDMI will not operate without interference, but that may just be in my area- I truly can't say. Otherwise, all that you want at a price that leaves one wondering why Eddy's can knock other seller's prices out as effectively as Carl the Cobra!! ...

One stop HDD/DVD recorder and Freeview with photo support

Advantages: It's a Sony, fully compatible with existing kit and buckets of features
Disadvantages: Not as cheap as third party units

The Sony RDR-HXD995 is a combined DVD and hard disk recorder with built in analogue and freeview tuners with analogue and digital outputs. It could be seen as providing the same functionality of several ‘set top boxes’ namely a freeview receiver, DVD player/recorder (as well as supporting Audio CD) and a Hard Disk recorder – giving essentially the same functionality as a VCR machine. The main advantage of such a system is that it greatly simplifies ...
...it work with the proprietary Sony ‘SACD’ format however that isn’t a major shortcoming for many people. I believe you can also use the system as an audio ‘jukebox’ but you’d have to feed it MP3 files via the USB ports, I don’t think it ‘rips’ standard audio CDs. I’ll give a bit of background about how I came to briefly use this machine; My father’s trusty VCR had gone on the blink – it looked like power supply had burned out, he was all for getting ...
