I couldn't be bothered as I will only be recording from a digital source, I only want the pal signal to carry the vhf stations (I know it will effect sound quality) so that it will set the clock. I also read that if you loop the RF through the VCR (rf in to dvdr, rf out of dvdr to rf in vcr, rf out vcr to tv) that you will convert the signal to PAL I so that at the very least you still have an analog signal to the TV and VCR. I suppose if your analog signal is very strong and your recepition is very good that you may record from the analog source and as such in that case you should buy the local model, but I am saving just 400 by not doing this (even if I bought the UK model it would be no good as this only has a UHF tuner on it). I'll wait and see what gets delivered and if I'm not happy I'll return it for refund, however I don't think that it will be a problem for what I want it to do. Actually, I've just had a thought, the E85 will allow you to record direct from the TV i.e. whatever analog station that you are watching so if you DO have to record from an analog source then you could do it that way, not ideal for everyday use but it it an option. Also with regards to the signal conversion, isn't this done on the output, i.e. it takes the UHF or VHF signal in and then converts it to the output signal at a specific range? If this is correct then you can get an RF modulator that will convert the output to you TV to Pal I for £18.00
