Hi there

My ideo has given up the fight for life and I would like to replace it with a DVD Recorder.

I have Sky+ but it would be nice to record and keep some programmes.

Anyone have anyone recommendations for a good buy ?

Thanks

    The Samsungs a starter price (for a decent one I mean) ~

    The Sonys well worth the extra dosh

    They can almost certainly be found cheaper elsewhere, but I thought youd like to read the reviews first :)

    The Sony's are excellent, if you thumb through some magazines in the newsagents you'll see the ones alienrik mentions win all sorts of awards, one of the current magazines does a comparative review and the Sony wins again.

    I can second this. I've had one of these for about a year and think it's excellent. The 1080p upscaling of regular DVD's and recorded programs is excellent too. My only criticism is that the Freeview receiver is a little poor but seeing as though you have Sky you'll probably never use it. I don't.

    I have just bought a Panasonic DRM EZ 27 online via Amazon £117. to replace my previous recorder, it has a built in freeview tuner and is really easy to operate very pleased so far, a nice piece of kit
