Help with choosing new Home Cinema System

supermart · 25-03-2009, 1:59 PM

I need a home cinema system. Is there anything on the market with the following specification?

One box which contains a Hard Disk recorder to record a digital TV signal and a separate DAB radio tuner (so that I don't have to have the TV on when listening to the radio) together with a DVD drive. It also needs to have a decent amplifier for the speakers and preferably the ability to connect to a laptop or wifi signal.

I don't want Sky+.

in a word, no.

but there is the Pioneer LX01 : LX01 Pioneer Home Cinema - Surround Sound system - Audio - Video

this does everything except DAB,and has a dvb-t tuner built in,for video recording.

Thank you for that

But at £900 it was more than I was budgeting for.

It seems strange that with the coming demise of analogue TV there are not more digital tuner HDD recorders on the market.

but the same could be said in that, who wants to record freeview?
and many people who would record tv programmes,would either buy them on disc,or already have some sort of recorder anyway,making the AIO market for them very small.
and with freeview being edged away in favour of freesat, they would have to make 2 models,1 for each or a dual..its not very high on their lists i assume.
