Best DVD recorders

[anotheoldgit]

Which is one of the best DVD recorders with built in hard drive under �250?

Ethel has said many times it is best to get one with twin digital tuners, are these freeview tuners? Because I already have built-in freeview on my TV.

Twin tuners mean that you can record one channel whilst watching a different one.

Single tuners you can only record what you are watching at the time, which seems pretty pointless to me!

Yes this seems to be the works if not a shade pricey.

What about the Sony RDRHXD8706 this has all the same features but with a 160 GB hard drive (455 hours recording time) Price �258.39

The Sony RDHXD970B HAS A 259gb hard drive (710 hours recording time) Price �289.50.

�31.11 more for another 255 hours recording time.

It depends if you need the extra time!!
either way ... it's a lot

as for price .......
