DVD Recorder

[squidgster]

I'm thinking of buying a DVD recorder, but unsure of what I would need. Have just looked on Comet's website...

There are either analogue ones like this: http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/38970 6/SAMSUNG-DVD-R149
or digital ones like this:

I already watch TV through a Freeview box, and want to be able to record anything from it. Do the analogue ones just work for the terrestial channels? Would I need a digital one, even though I already have a Freeview box?

Any advice would be great!
Thanks!

You need a freeview one with at least a twin tuner.

If you have an alogue one, you will have to set it to record either AV or EXT and you won't be able to watch a different freeview channel whilst you record.

The only reason your old video recorder could record one channel whilst you watched another was because it had its own tuner - it's exactly the same for digital tv.

I have just brought a 250GB Twin Tuner Digital TV Recorder from Curry's @ �149.99.

I have found out, that I can watch a Terrestrial program, while recording TWO Digital programs.

It is easy to find and record programs.

A very good product, and I think worth the money.
