new to DVD records...assistance req'd please

Hi all,

Am in the market for a new DVD player, and have also been looking at getting Sky+

Will any of the DVD/HDD records provide a good combination of these functions (what do they do that Sky+ does/doesn't) what are the DVD playback qualities like (currently have a Pioneer 525 DVD player)

how do you record from Sky (normal), can you only record the channel being watched etc

Any info on DVD Records in general for newbies that people know of? - DOH!, just noticed the FAQ post at top although doesn't have a intro with questions like above (or couldn't find any)

cheers for any help
Gary

Start by reading Rasczak's excellent FAQ:
http://www.btinternet.com/~james_lan.../whichdvd.HTML

Amongst other things it talks about how having a HDD is useful, even if you have Sky+.
