Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Sony RDR HXD860, and although it has great features and picture quality, I can't use its freeview tuning capabilites as there is no freeview where I live (Gibraltar). I can record off other inputs (Sat Box and VCR) but this is quite messy when I have to use the timer etc.
I am thinking of replacing this with a Panasonic DMR EX75, which I can get with Divx from Spain (which is next door!).
Any opinions on which of these two DVD models is best, and what are the differences between the two feature-wise, (e.g. I understand that the Panny cannot record to HD and view a DVD at the same time - is this true?) I know opinions are just that, but any help on pros and cons of each would be appreciated.
Apologies if there is a thread somewhere just for this - if so, please point me in the right direction
Cheers
