THIS OFFER HAS FINISHED

Scan.co.uk today only section has some refurb dect phones for £10.02 and this new DVD Recorder, +R(W) only but not too shabby. For a little more you can get one with DivX/Xvid but if that is not important this might be worth a look.

This is a picture of the unit which is well made, the manual is also well set out. There is a link below.

I noticed that the review said that the unit does not have a NICAM decoder, which is true but if you are recording off a video recorder tuner, SKY, or Freeview with stereo inputs then you should be fine.

Also the editing on +RW seems to be improved in the manual anyway! Eg. remove adverts etc. The editing is never great on recorders without Hard disks or DVD-RAM, so don't expect the earth.

they've been selling that Blaupunkt CD Changer at that sort of price for ages - it was first posted in this thread back in March, so that makes their Today only ticket on that a bit of a joke

I'm not up to speed on the In car stuff but it looked ok. The DVD recorder is an OK deal, if you don't want the DivX I suppose.

Fairwinds

Delivery seems a bit steep for the phone at £7 + Vat

Are there any cheaper options i've missed?

BoltonMinx

Yeah, you can pop in and pick it up lol, sorry couldnt resist. Will be sending l'il bro in for one of those DECT phones tommorow me thinks

Having tried out Philips, Panasonic, BT, NTL and Binatone DECT phones I have to say Philips aren't the most asthetic but certainly give the best reception. All the others break up well before the Philips did when moving away from the base station. My current phones are Panasonic and have to say I am disappointed with the clarity of signal....they look nice but what are phones for?

For the phones, I'd recommend checking out the reviews on Amazon before you buy them. Not sure if it's exactly the same model, but doing a search for "onis 300" brings back a couple of Philips phones with really poor reviews.

Agreed the some reviews are very poor, others are not so bad..

Warantee

If you live near Scan might be worth a punt, as the P&P goes way, if you are on a budget. But the P&P is high so return postage etc might not be worth the effort!

I think the unit take AAA batteries.

Worth checking the warantee with Scan?

Yes watch out for Scams postage charges. I bought a TV card for £35 with £8 postage so to make it easier I also bought two ink carts for £3. the TV card was faulty so returned it at more cost, they refudned me for the card but as I had bought two ink carts they wouldnt refund me for the postage. It cost me £15 in the end for the ink.
