Hey guys,

 

I'm getting fedup of the poor VHS quality of our now 6 year old video recorder and have been looking into HDD recorders. I've already got a freeview tuner on the pc and absolutely love the simplicity of the EPG and direct HDD recording functions.

 

Ideally what I'd like to have is a unit with twin-freeview tuners (so that one can record whilst we can watch another channel), a 80-200Gb HDD and DVD playing/recording facilities.

 

I've looked at the KiSS Technologies DP-588 which ticks all boxes except the twin tuner one. I know there are others out there but thought I'd ask if any of you have one and if so what your thoughts are on this. Are they worth the expense (the DP-588 retails for around the £400 mark) and which one would you recommend?

 

Thanks for your feedback!

Check out http://www.reviewcentre.com they may have an amateur review on the items. In my opinion these opinions tend to be quite reliable but I've only used it for mobile phones and digital camcorders.

Humax always get good reviews.

 

Their PVR9200T is in Comet for £229.99.

160GB disk, twin tuner. No DVD though. :(

 

IIRC LiteOn do an all in one box though. Should be affordable too.

 

Have a look on http://www.pvruk.co.uk.

Thanks guys - will look into these.
