Cheap dvd recorder that plays divx

Hi folks,
considering this is my first post here, it better be a goodun!

i found the mutz nuts for under £200... Its manufactured by: H&B (the same people that make Kiss)... Ive only found this so far in france, but pixmania ship from france so...
check at pixmania uk for it its the model 430... You can pick it up for £180. It really is brilliant. Ive tried it and cant wait to buy it myself (but waiting for a price drop). Ive found cheaper but i know h&b and have a normal player from them.

It says its a dvd player, but if you do your research you get this:

    As someone else pointed out in another post a little while ago, there is also a dvd/divx player being sold on WHSmith Online for £29.99. It is branded as Skyworth, but underneath is a Yamada 6600 which has been reviewed well in the past.

    Having bought one, I can certainly recommend it. Yamada have recently superseded the 6600 model with the 6700, but for £30 you can't go wrong... :-)

    Not sure whether in the same league as the Kiss but...

    The skyworth is good, but this post is about a dvd recorder, not player hence the £150 price difference.

    first link didn't work for me, looks good though, nice post
