have any DVD recorders +HDD got component output

Just wondered, whether any of the current crop of DVD recorders with a built in Hard drive, or new machines on the way from panasonic/JVC have component outputs, rather than just RGB or S-video.

thanks

 

Yes - most of them The new Panasonic models do (all of them bar the E75), the JVC models do, the Pioneer 5100 does, the new Sharp model does and the Sony RX8/10 does. I think the E100 does as well although you'd better check that.

 

The new sharo one does as well according to www.recorders4u.com and is on sale at empire direct (cant find a UK site with details though)

 

does any one out there know of a dvd recorder on the market with a hard drive,and also controls the digibox so you can record one sky program while watching another at the same time.

 

no

the stadard sky box only has 1 tuner

you need sky+ to do what you want to do

or 2 standard sky boxes

Minor point:- The Pioneer DVR5100 does not have component out.
Composite, S-video and RGB only.

 

Doesn't it? I'm probably getting confused with the 510.

 

Quite an important question for me: is the Progressive Scan chipset any good in these models. I really need a good PS player, but would consider going down the recorder route as well.

 

Would the component out of the E85 be able to feed a TV picture to a projector directly or through an Denon AV3803 Amp? I am thinking of getting one partly for this reason, however I have also read that people do not rate the Tuner very highly.

Anyone know if you can feed an RGB signal from a freeview box into one of these new DVDR + HDD boxes and have the signal come out in progressive component?

Also, are there any DVDR +HDD boxes out there or coming out with builtin freeview tuner?
