I'm looking to buy the Panasonic DMR-ES10 - but would like confirmation on the EXT Link functionality (I don't have an outdoor ariel - feed is only from Sky box..)
Im confused if my setup will work with the Panny EXT Link function..without the external ariel (maybe I'll have to get one - can you please advise??).
My budget is around £150 - I know the DMR-ES20 has the built in Freeview - is it worth getting an external ariel installed and paying the extra £30 for this model? I can't stretch to the EH50...which is a great shame...

Q1 can anyone please give me more details how this EXT with the Panny? I notice you have to select Autoview on Sky, then the programme automatically records right (?) if EXT link has been pressed on the Panny is that all there is to it??
Q2 - I noticed when I select Autoview on my Thomson Sky box, it then needs me to press SELECT to watch the programme will this cause problems if Im away and have a series of auotviews setup and am not there to press SELECT?? (i.e. am in bed / out)
Q3 I was planning on buying the 9.4GB RAM disk so I could double the recording time the standard recording times for a 4.7GB disk for the Panny are:
XP - 1hr from 4.7GB disk
SP - 2hrs from 4.7GB disk
LP - 4hrs from 4.7GB disk
-would I simply get double times from a 9.4 RAM disk?? Eg 2hrs @ XP mode, 4 @ SP mode ? Are there conplications with finalising the 9.4GB side 1 before it'll run onto side 2??
Q4 will the timeslip functionality work WITHOUT an external ariel?
Thanks in advance
