I come from a media center background, but my dad has finally decided to ditch his VCR and go digital. He has an old 21" sony CRT with 1 scart connection. I'd originally planned to get him a PVR with twin digital tuner. But he said he wants a DVD/HD based solution so he can archive good stuff to DVD.

Having looked at the DVD/HD recorder solutions I was horrified to find they only come with 1 digital tuner and 1 analogue tuner!! ***!!! So basically in 2 years time the device will be obsolete due to the digital switch over..... sounds crazy!

What are his options? He doesn't really want multiple remote controls for lots of different devices and only has 1 SCART connection on the TV.
