Replacement for Panasonic DMR-EX85

Folks

I am looking for a Replacement for a very dead Panasonic DMR-EX85

Only real Requirements are:

1. Free View Tuner
2. Program guide would be able to pick up a Series of Programs
Like Corrination Street (for the misses)
3. Have a good size Hdd

Optional Requirement:
1. Dual Tuner
2. Been able to Archive programs to my PC without having to burn them to a DVD first and then edit them on the PC
Yes I know all most imposable to do, maybe Blue Ray is the answer but media costs a arm and a leg.

Unit does not have to be a Panasoinc could be any leading brand.

If it makes any difference TV is :Panasoinc TH-37PE50B

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks

Matthew

An EX78 or EX79 would be the machine for you [ or EX88 / 89 if you want a bigger hard disc ]

Your optional requirements are no-go's and likely will always be.
Getting material off a machine will stay restricted to using discs as the transfer medium.

There are no dual tuner units.
The upcoming Dual Tuner Bluray recorders have Freesat tuners not Freeview
