If future proofing is important in selecting your DVD recorder but a collection of cherished VHS tapes adorns the living room, then the DMR-EX95V from Panasonic will be sure to satisfy. This unit combines DVD, HDD and VHS recording and playback in one unit, as well as transfer to and from SD. An integrated Freeview recorder is an increasingly popular choice for those wanting to upgrade to digital, and benefit from up to an additional 40 TV and 24 radio channels. The DIGA DMR-EX95V also has an analog tuner, rising to the challenge of accommodating both consumers who have adequate Digital Broadcast reception and those who are yet to gear up for strong enough reception. The DMR-EX95V has a 250GB drive and is capable of recording a massive 443 hours of footage and it's not just TV content that you are able to store. It has an SD card slot and JPEG digital photos can also transfer to the hard drive for convenient storage and easy viewing. The DMR-EX95V adds another technology to the armory of ease-of-use functions with Quick Start and Record. Many DVD recorders take 20 or more valuable seconds to power-up and start recording. DMR-EX95V is a great tool for VHS archiving, not only can precious footage be archived on DVD, but you can actually improve the picture quality of your old VHS recording during archiving! Now VHS recorded memories cannot only be saved onto DVD, but images are improved for future enjoyment.

...features of this Panasonic DVD Recorder.
It hosts the now popular HDMI which means - High Definition Mulitmedia Interface-. So if you have a HD TV you can watch your normal DVDs and it turn them into HD DVD so the quality is amazing. But you do need a HDMI Lead which retials about £20 but well worth it.
It also features a SD input at the front, so if you own a digital camera put your card in sit back and look at your photos on your Widescreen photo album!!!
Tjis DVD Recorder has the usual DTS and Dolby so the sound quality is just like being at the cinema.
The box has an Auto Setup so is easy to install, but the only thing slightly badto say is the Remote does take a few hours to gert the hang of but well worth the training!!
So to sum up a Reliable make, Good price ( I paid £145 @ Amazon)
Top qualit y Recording, Great Freeview and full...

...PanasonicDIGA DVD Recorders offer all the benefits of the DVD-RAM format, like simultaneous recording and playback, random access, chasing playback, on-disc editing, and multi-format data compatibility that lets you record TV programs and still pictures on the same disc.
Geared at making your home viewing as care free as possible, the new DMRES30V is perfect for today's transition into the digital world boasting a fusion of high quality DVD recorder technology and traditional VCR. With the option of playback or record in either DVD or VHS mode, a whole host of benefits are opened up. The Twin Tuner lets you record two different TV programmes on different channels simultaneously - one onto tape and the other onto DVD. This has the potential to eliminate arguments over who gets to record what for good! this is a very good product...

The picture from this box is great. It has the benefit of upscaling not only DVD's but also the Freeview signal. So it will upscale the programme you are watching or any you record. The Standard recording quality is pretty much perfect, I cannot really... more
