My mums DVD recorder and video recorder are on their last legs and Im thinking about buying her a HDD recorder so she does not have to fiddle about with discs or tapes.
We have a sony rdr-hxd870 which we like as it has an analogue and digital tuner, but Im not sure it would be right for her.
For example she is used to video+ recording on her video and the analogue tuner in the sony does not have video+ (the digital tuner does have EPG, but her digital reception is limited)
Can anyone advise me on a reliable HDD recorder with the following features,
-fairly clear screen and easy to use remote control
-simple functions
-video+ for analogue (as well as EPG for digital) with PDC/vps
-around 160gb memory
Been looking at a samsung DVD-sh853m, but the reviews dont look good...any other suggestions please?
