We've got a DVD recorder, but we are looking to upgrade since this one doesnt remember channel when its turned on, so you have to constantly reset it to EXT1 (sky). Preferably this should have the ability to record component or HDMI inputs, otherwise it isnt much of an upgrade. It seems there are plenty of these which upscale to component/hdmi, but none record it. I Checked Sony AU and US, but there seems to be no product replacing the DVD recorder to do this.
So, will there be something similar released with the ability to record component or HDMI, likely hi-def?
It's also likely that we get Sky Hi-Def whenever that comes out, which is rumoured to be on a mysky like PVR. This could be a better idea but it cant record to DVD's, and will probably only have a 160gb hard drive or something small.
A Media Centre PC looks to be ideal, but sky throws a wrench in the works when it comes to this as a few of you probably know. Also im thinking a hi-def capable one is 2000+ for the box alone, with still slow PC startup times (longer than 10s).
Current setup goes (old) Pace Sky Decoder >--Scart-Composite-> Philips DVD Recorder >-Component-> Onkyo Reciever/Amp >-Component-> Sony D Series 40"
Its pretty much permanently set on sky.
So, any suggestions of what to do/what you would do, or what the plans/dates are for Hi-Def Freeview and Sky?
That button should have a javascript alert on it.
