PVR's (Personal Video Recoders) and DVD Recorders

I'm told that PVRs are much easier to operate than DVDs. Can anyone confirm this and if so which make and model would you recommend bearing in mind that I have an IDTV (Integrated Digital Television) and do not have Sky?

Be sure to buy a machine that contains a *digital* (Freeview) receiver. You then get a full 14 day on-screen program guide. To make a recording, just scroll to the program you want and select "record". A surprising number of machines in the shops only have analog receivers. This means no program guide, no extra channels and obsolescent technology.

Re the IDTV, I wouldn't bother. Consider the TV purely as an output device and use the receiver in your settop box to get optimum functionality.

Many thanks tenbob. None of the stores I have visited has suggested buying one that contains a digital receiver. Your advice is very welcome.
