HDD/DVD recorder

HUFCsteve

My dad is looking to replace his video recorder. He lives in an area without freeview and doesn't have Sky. How much would he have to spend to get a half decent one of these? And can anyone recommend one?

How much to get a half decent VCR player? Hell I bet you could wangle one free somewhere.

Your Dad should look at getting a DVD / VHS player if he wants to watch his old VHS and still have technology for some newer films.

You could probably buy a VHS for around £5 if that.

Regarding a HDD / DVD recorder, I've got a VHS - DVD burner which cost me around £100 but it's a fairly decent spec. HDD / DVD burners I'd imagine you're looking around £60-70 for a good one.

I've been looking for a hdd dvd recorder and they seem to start at about £180. I beleive Argos do a video recorder for about £60.

If you go for a dvd recorder check in has an analogue tuner i'm not sure they all do.

Yes I was surprised even the dvd recorders without hdd seem to be about £140
no demand I suppose.

No freeview where I am so doesn’t seem to be a cheap way to recorded TV
