Good DVD recorder at Tesco £69

machofairy

Coming in at just under £69 at my local Tesco:

Lite-On 5115GHC+ DVD recorder & divx player.
Does + and - discs and probably the cheapest DVD recorder with videoplus function.

Same item was previously £80 at amazon, but gone back up to £100 now.

My complaints, however, are:

- does not record in rgb mode
- does not record in widescreen mode, but I think this is the same for all dvd recorders.
- only sends an scart passthrough signal from sky to TV in 4:3 AR and in mono.

i have one of these - and for what it is - its very good.

you can also hack it to make it multi-region (check https://www.dvd-reviewer.co.uk)

Now all we need is a 1000 extra clubcard points for over £50 spend on electricals!!!

its terrific. the difference is, the one i have is the size of a A4 piece of paper

if you want a DVD recorder, then liteon are as sound as a pound, and who knows? one day might only cost one aswell :j

Just a quick question. I've got a JVC dvd recorder that seems great but makes a noise all the time (even when off - if the powers connected).
Has anyone else had trouble with this? Do dvd recorders generally do this? Do these have flaws like this?
Thanks

i think in general, with most dvd recorders while the disc is initially being read then they are a little noisier than you may have expected, but noise is noise, it doesnt bother me.

but certainly no noise once in operation and when switched "off".
