Page 1 of LOOKING FOR A NEW DVD RECORDER!!!! WHAT TO CHOOSE?

Hi guys!
I m looking for a good quality DVD recorder with a built in hard disk!!
I searched and searched and couldnt make up my mind~ :/
all of them seems great :D . Any recommandations?? :)

Current models from Pioneer,Toshiba and Panasonic come highly recommended.If you want to play rewritables on players elswhere in your house,forget Panasonic.Pioneer have about 3 different models with varying sizes of HDD,and Toshiba have the best menu options and the cheapest price.Just avoid the Philips.
A more specific list of your needs would narrow it down

Don`t forget to mention that Panasonic get higher recomendations than the others, has the best & most reliable Re recording system & a cheap video sender will send the recordings anywhere around the house they want. NO NEED FOR ANOTHER PLAYER.

you been bored n looking for piccies again Ogster? <grin>

Jimbo : oÞ

Not so easy if you want to share something with someone outside of your house though-unlss you`ve got a ruddy great big video sender the size of Winter Hill!!

No doubt about it, Panasonic recorders are good, but ommitting RW compatibility is a bit like building the best turntable in the world and not putting 33rpm on it...

Hold on a minute. These are your recordings. Why should you compromise your choices for people who probably couldn`t care less about your welfare. If they want to see your recordings let the b******s buy Panasonic (parents excepted of course, but then you would have bought a Panasonic for them).

I bet you`d smoke in a restaurant wouldn`t you?? :)

seems like panasonic is the way to go.
Would Panasonic DMR-E85hs be a pretty good choice then?

personaly, i`d say yes, but it depends if you whant rw capability, i`m happy with ram/-r, so it all depends what you want :)
