What to do now?...dvd etc

Inforapennyinforapound

I have an analogue tv as we are going digital next year.

The cheapo dvd player has just died.So,what to do now?.
I still want to play dvd's so do i buy a new basic dvd player then next year buy a set top box and or pvr(or idtv) or do i just buy a dvd recorder.

I am assuming that the choice is dvd player + pvr or just a dvd recorder.

What is your experience? And why buy 2 items when i can just buy one?:wall:

Thank you

depends on your budget.

You can get a dvd recorder with Freeview and a pvr HDD built in.

I have a seperate Analogue dvd recorder and Freeview Recorder (PVR) on one set, a dvd player and Freeview box on another tv.

Depends when you have Analogue switch over to Digital because an Analogue DVD recorder wouldn't be much use as a Digital one would be

A DVD recorder is really only useful for archiving programmes. A PVR is for record/playback/pause play and is much more user friendly.
Get a replacement DVD playter (cheapo or whatever you prefer) and then a PVR when digital transmissions are available. I recommend the Humax PVR 9300T.
