PVR with DVD

timbim_2

I'm in the market for a new PVR, but it needs to have DVD support, ie can copy programs off HDD onto DVD's to reclaim disk space, and needs twin tuners. I've looked at Humax and Topfield, but they don't seem to have any models like that. Thanks for the help,

Sony and Panasonic did these a few years ago but they were very expenisve. Circa £500

I have one of these:

It's really great. This one has a 160Gb HDD in it but you can get other versions with 120Gb, 250Gb, or 500Gb HDD's in also.

But that has only has one digital tuner, the other's analogue!

How many hours can Humax cram onto the HDD? If they can only fit 100 hours to 160GB, then that's not great.

AFAIK the only way you'd be able to get twin tuners & DVD recording is to build it yourself.

Everything on the market is either twin tuner or single tuner plus DVD

if you have the space, get a good twin tuner pvr (Like a Humax)

and a cheap DVD recorder.
when you want to archive (bearing in mind, Humax do PVR's up to 500Gb) just use the dvd to record the programs
More convulted but should be alot cheaper.
