You can get some that have a single tuner plus the HDD and DVD but the only twin tuners I've seen haven't had a DVD drive -- Alex "I laugh in the face of danger , then I hide until it goes away" |

I have two, both Samsung, twin tuners DVD/HDD, pause and rewind facilities, editing and copying between drives and/or USB drive etc. Got the first 3 years ago and the second a year ago. Kay Thank to you both for the info. Whilst digging around on the internet I have managed to find a few devices that have everything but they all break the budget. I'm going to advise my dad to bug a dual freeview tuner PVR which can be had within the budget and then a DVD recorder later when and if he needs it. Thanks TheDysk |

With HDs holding a couple of hundred hours of stuff - and the number of repeats there's not the same need to hard copy stuff. Other thing is my experience says DVD recorders (cheap ones) ain't the most reliable of things. -- *Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
