I am considering getting a combined DVD/HD - help needed

RussWWFC

As per the question. I'm a really tech savvy person so I know all the terms but I want to find a DVD Recorder with Hard Disk which has as many of these features as possible

DVD Recording
Hard Disk Recording - at least 80 hours, not too noisy as its for my bedroom
Twin Tuner
Freeview
Ability to edit cut and paste (IE Cut the adverts out) "on deck"
Import your own pictures and customise your DVD Menus "on deck" (is this possible?)
USB Output
MP3, VCD, SVCD, DIVX playback
Any other "nice to haves"

Thanks in advance

Says its about £450. Cannot understand why you would need a twin tuner, thats more the province of the PVRs like the Topfield and th Humax.

I am really looking for a DVD/PVR with Freeview built in - want the twin tuner so I can record 2 things at once

Might as well get the best while I am spending out, seen this http://www.electronics-online.co.uk/acatalog/Sony_RDR_HXD710S_DVD_Recorder.html which is similar to the one you mentioned
