Digital Recorders thingys

[Krimble]

I quite fancy one and Grandad has sent me a cheque for Christmas.

So are they as good as they sound?

Any good deals around, saw one in Asda for £89 and it records 2 channels at the same time.

What is the hours/ Gb comparison one said 120 hours the other 160 Gb, not sure how to compare.

Confused now.

Great post.

LOL.

Asda one was Thomson brand. £79 in argos even better.

the ones with the hard drives are brill- it pauses live tv and records about 50 hours of tv. ALso plays dvds and records onto dvds. Think ours is a philips (HDD and DVD recorder from Argos)
The hours thing is not very helpful. Ours said 160 hours but not at very good quality.

Phenomenal post

Aitch - you are on fire tonight. fAB POST.

Ok now I am totaly confused.

What is so funny???

Bloody brilliant, you should be in the weekly round-up fo sho.

OK I hadn't been reaing active convos as I was trawling the net looking at digi things.

Fine feck of unless you want to discuss digi recorders .

Great post, Krimble.

sigh

tru dat.

sorry krimble, we're being silly. join us. great sigh.

OK back to difi recorders I want to know if it is worth spending money on one or not.

I have a video recorder but it will only play tapes I can't get the connections for it to record digi telly, not enough sockets.

See you have made me feck up my typing now .

okay then. we got a dvd recorder, it's RUBBISH, so don't get one of them, deffo a hard disk.

Thanks so much what more do I need to know

oh, because we used it a couple of times and it was a faff and then we completely forgot how it works and can't find the instructions. it's not intuitive. and it doesn't even play dvds that well. a bush one, cheapo. i suppose you get what you pay for.

We've got a DVD/HD recorder. It's a Panasonic. It's great.

The Humax playback one is supposed to be good, but is expensive.

Argh got the Thompson one but having problems with the play back of a recored programme. I will let it update overnight and see if that sets it on the straight and narrow. Goes all wonky and skips when I tried to fast forward. But it is supposed to update its self overnight. we will see. Quality of play back is as good as when it is live. Records 2 channels at once but you can't watch a different 3 channel while it is doing this. Tis easy to set it to record though.
