I took delievery of a Pioneer DVR-630H-S yesterday and am generally quite happy with it. However, I am now wondering whether I should have gone for the Panasonic DMREH60D and need to decide whether to send the Pioneer back in the next few days. The issues are:-
1) The Pioneer can control our Sky Box - however it does so via an infra red sender on a lead which I can see getting knocked or obscured
2) The Panasonic cannot do this - however it has an internal digital tuner and as we currently only have freeview via satelite we would use the digital tuner to record freeview stuff, leaving Sky free for other viewing at the same time.
3) If we ever wanted to record a Sky channel then the Sky planner can trigger the Panasonic to record (but not the Pioneer)
4) We currently have a Panasonic TV which the Pioneer remote cannot control. Hopefully the Panasonic DVD remote would have a better chance of controlling it.
5) The Pioneer has a slightly larger HDD (250 v 200)
Are there any other differences between these machines which would help me make up my mind?
