Recorder for your TV

[GTi]

I stumbled across this recorder, and I am thinking of getting one, to do away with my VCR. Anyone got experience with these?

For that price you can get a 80gb Sansui HDD dvd recorder with a removable/upgradable hdd,with a 2y gaurantee from hificorp.And the added bonus of time shift.

I'd rather go with the devil i know.

I'd sooner stick with my PVR. There's such little quality tv here that I would actually want to keep on my computer.

Exactly - the 350mb downloads are generally of equal or even better quality.

Way too much effort for me - I've got a mini attached to the TV - one 500gb hard drive for my series and another for my dvd collection. Instant accessibility My kid(s) and dvds dont mix well.

Downloads? Does DSTV now have their shows available for download? Cool! Where do you download them? I thought it's about time someone in SA did something like this. Things are changing.

Looks like DSTV beat Telkom to it.

We're talking about downloads from overseas. What locally produced shows would you waste bandwidth on?

Oh
I though you meant it's a DSTV service.


EDIT: I don't have DSTV so I would not know what their shows are like.

I know - actually I think the PVR is the best thing multichoice has ever done. Being able to record something and still watch two other channels is indispensable in this house of mine.

I'd love to get one of those Sky HD-PVRs, maybe Multichoice can make a deal with BSkyB.

 

[wcoetzee]

I have a hunch that the pvr is a copy of the sky box
the menu system and the tv guide looks the same format even the dstv guide logo in the upper right corner is the same except it says sky...

Bwana, not everyone can afford PVR and the monthly package that comes with it.

I guess if you dont want dstv the pvr is kind of useless
