That should be PANASONIC not panasin!

[JPM]

I guess if you're after one I'd be tempted to ensure it's multiregion, and has time slip also

Yes, I'm after a TV DVD rescorder, not a PC one.

Already have the cinema surround, got a Sony DAV880 5.1 system with 42inch plasma to boot. Sweet. Just the VHS video to replace!

Thanks for all the info, will ensure it is multi-region and I think pricerunner is the way to go. Cheers all.

Off to catch my flight to Bologna now, then off to the Ducati Factory tomorrow morning. Oh yes!!

I have the Panasonic DME-55. Works great, has all the required features, and has component out if your plasma supports it. It can be found with multiregion as well.
As I have Sky+ I did not need the HD version

Cheers guys, no I haven't bought one yet. Tempted to leave it till the Jan sales. But I should go down to Richer Sounds to have a browse. Well spotted - from W. Yorks!!

You cn buy DVDs that play AVi files now.
Worth the effort if you download stuff.

Just a word from the land of electronic gadgets. The big thing here now is HDD-DVD recorders. Biggest is now 400 GB with varying formats depending on the maker. Most of the stuff here is mainstream Japanese with a smattering of Korean and Philips, but the major Nip makers are really pumping out new stuff all the time. Most of it is now becoming digital Hi Def. Personally, I wpould stick with major brands as, even though they have problems, they have a much better track record and support system than off-brand stuff. Why come home and find the recording you so painfully set up for when you were away at work just ended up eating your disk.

But...but...but... That's illegal...!

You don't appear to be able to buy a DVD recorder yet though that plays AVI/DIVX files.
