Freeview recorders
Right having bought a cheap crap freeview hdd recorded (a Bush one) and finding it doesn't work I'm scouting ebay for a new one. I think
I'd like one though which has a dvd recorder in built so that I can record topgear and then burn the whole series onto disc! lol....So
I've been looking at the Sony hd710 something or other and it seems good but pricey. So has anyone else got any other recomendations for the
same type of thing. I also wouldn't mind too much buying 2 boxes say one good DVD recorder and a freeview recorder box but must be decent and
get all the channels eg. E4 abc1 etc etc as ours at the moment doesn't  Cheers in advance....Oli.
If your not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room!

I've had the same thing. Went through a number of cheap ones. I finally bit the bullet and splashed out on a Sony. Never looked back. Very happy
with it.
The model I got was a RDR-GXD310, which is just a Freeview DVD recorder, without the HD. I have no reason to doubt the ones with a HD are just as
good.

Oli,
I recently bought my parents a Humax PVR-9200T freeview recorder. Its been very reliable and easy to operate. I would definitely recommend it.

Topfield or Humax get the best reviews. Have a look on AVforums or digitalspy for detailed descriptions and faults versus features. I have had the
cheap Aldi Technosonic twin tuner one for over a year now and since the over the air updates it's getting better and better, you can watch and
record on different channels or record and watch a recording or record two channels at once. DVD/HDD recorders seem to be only terrestrial tuners but
you can record from a digi box via scart lead straight to dvd or hard drive.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If you still want to stay on a budget have a look at an LG. I never rated the brand but my HDD/DVD recorder is 18 months old & has been faultless.

I,ve got a Humax, its very good except that it only supports one channel at a time.
What this means is that I cannot record one channel whilst watching another, make sure whatever you get supports two channels concurrently.
