That can't be right, surely? |

HD content anyway, not the same number of hours admitedly but I'm happy with my TV Drive.
I don't back up much SD content to my DVD recorder I wonder, if I had one of these how much HD content I'd back up. |

Is it just me or does that look hideous! 
Those pillars on the four corners make it look very 'industrial'! |

I like it too, it looks like the bottom panel slides up to hide the black middle...

Back to the old school again and forget about the gayish tiny plastic products that they sell today.

Alas it looks like the best video input is S-Video. 
It'll have two 500GB disks in a raid config so should able to do a lot of concurrent record/play stuff even with MPEG2 HD content.
I'd still rather have a basic BD recorder with Component 576i/p and Opti/Coax audio input (in dream land of course it'd have HDMI input with 720p/1080i recording  ). |
