What is the picture quality like if you use ,say ,Panasonic DMRE85 or similar to record compared to a Tivo?
In terms of bit rates and resolution, is it same/better
,and do they let you adjust the res/bit rate?

Thank very much
 
I find SP on the DMRE85 about equivalent to Best on my TiVo.

The 85 has four differant recording modes so yes you can alter bit rates etc.
 
Hi fred
Is SP the best quality the dmre85 does?
 
I know sky+ is the best, but now I have a tivo and a panasonic E50 recorder and am getting disapointed at the results of best tivo quality compared to a direct sky digital feed, So wondered if changing these 2 pieces of kit for a panny E85 would be significantly better?
Thanks
 
If you record direct from Sky to an E85 in XP you should get as good results as copying from Sky+ to an E50(in XP).However,Sky+ does have excllent advantages over any HDD/DVDR,like 2 channel recording at the same time,or watching one while recording another,and Sky+ eliminates the red dot also.E85 has the advantage that you can edit before transfer to dvd.If picture quality is the ONLY consideration,then the E85 would be better-get Sky+ later
 
thanks, I better save up!
