has anyone a good link for a Blu-Ray recorder

[Bobbisox]

I fancy buying one of these, but when I read the specs on them, it's confusing
Do they work the same as a DVD recorder?
Will I need "blue ray" disks?
Can I record from tele the same as I do with my DVD recorder?

Thanks Bobbi ♥

no link, but yes yes and yes.

[Bobbisox]

thank you very much chuck, what in your opinion is one of the better ones, I've been looking at the LG and Goodmans?

one thing I dont get, would you need HD chanels to be able to record onto Blu ray seen as they are HD?

[4getmenot]

Or betamax lol

[Bobbisox]

do you pussy?
I like my DVD recorder but it was one of the first to come out so it's about 8 yr old now, need to update

[Bobbisox]

good one 4get, you have a point there

[ChuckFickens]

You can record normal SD channels onto a blu ray recorder no problem

(betamax was far better quality than VHS BTW)

[Bobbisox]

yep so I have heard pussy

[Bobbisox]

would you have a preference with the model Chuck?

[ChuckFickens]

I couldn't suggest one, they are very new on the market so I've not had any experience of any of them.

I personally would wait a little while, the recorders are still really expensive, they will drop in price hugely over the next year.

[Bobbisox]

thanks for that tip Chuck, I will

[4getmenot]

yes chuck you can but why record them onto that when blu ray are HD

You might record SD channels onto Blu-Ray because you'd get much much more recording time. The space afforded by Blu-Ray means you can have HD quality or loads of storage. Blu-Ray is just a storage format at the end of the day, it is ubiquitous with HD, but that's not it's only function.

[ChuckFickens]

Most blu ray recorders would also record DVD's so for some SD stuff you could use a normal DVD.

the main benefit of using a blu ray disk to record SD content on would be the time, using long play mode you could record about 30+ hrs of normal TV onto a blu ray disk
