Hi, im looking for a dvd recorder that has HDD and freeview for under 200 pounds. Any suggestions?

THanks.

Your price limit is too low. Purchase any with an 80GB HDD and connect a separate freeview STB to give you the digital channels. This is your best option.

What are my best options here? How much of a difference is there between having the freeview separate. Why is it cheaper?

Pricerunner UK :

DMR-ES20D No HDD but freeview + analogue tuner price £150

DMR-EH50 80GB HDD only analogue tuner
price £279

DMR EX85 250GB HDD plus Freeview&analogue tuner price around £420.

Check out the price of the EX75 which is same as the EX85 apart from 160GB HDD - various
prices quoted on this forum.

1. The panasonic does not have divx (unless you live out of the uk).

few more points....

1. not everyone wants or understands Divx.

2. most people just want to 'record from the telly'.

3. most of the above do not understand or want a PC.... (and my dear mum is one of these!! )

no, its not a bad thing to know about pc's or tech, just remember that you are only 10% or less of the population...... so be happy about it!!

Hard drive dvd recorders on the SVP website for under £200 but WITHOUT a Freeview tuner.

To obtain freeview you would need to connect a freeview STB to the recorder or a freeview PVR or IDTV.
