Video recorder is no more (RIP)- what next?
Hey folks,
Got a (non-car-related  ) question for you...
Our video player has finally packed up and so we need a method of recording the tele.
Nothing too flash needed just something simple and reliable, any suggestions?
What do you use? Any good? What should I stay away from?
I leave it in your hands!
Thanks,
ed

I have a Sony hard drive recorder that includes a DVD recorder, and my neighbour has a Panasonic one. Both work VERY well, are easy to use and you
will be amazed by the quality of recordings - equal to what was broadcast, near enough.

What always boggles my mind is when you start to record a program, get bored with whatever else is on and decide that you would rather watch the
program you're recording... and you can!
So the machine is busy recording, while you're watching the recording from the beginning...

Oh well done. This thread has just reminded me that I was supposed to record the second episode of Waking The Dead for SWMBO. Unfortunately, it
started 23 minutes ago. I'll be off to the doghouse........

If you had a hard drive recorder and it had been on that channel you could go back and record it! 
Humax 9200T - twin freeview tuners so you can watch one and record another - actually due to the way channels are grouped you can record two channels
and watch a third. Really easy to programme (just click OK on the programme guide), pause live, time shift etc. Now with automatic series recording.

I use a combination of Sky+, and an (original) XBox hacked to run XBMC hooked up to 'TheBox' and 'BitMeTV'.
Thinking about it... maybe that's why I have so many unfinished projects....
