I've been looking to buy a DVD Recorder for a few weeks now and I've been gathering information from this excellent forum since my knowledge of such things is very limited.
However.....
One of the main criteria for me is the 'timeslip' function. Currently I have a freeview box with a built in hard drive and I am able to 'rewind live TV' so that for example, if I came in during a footy match on ITV1 and the freeview box was on ITV1, then I would be able to rewind to the start of the match since the hard drive automatically stores the last few hours of programmes.
My question is....does timeslip do this or can you only pause and catch up live tv rather than rewinding it ?
Also....I have narrowed my shortlist down to the following:
TOSHIBA RD85DT
TOSHIBA RD-XS24
TOSHIBA RD-XS32
PANASONIC DMR-EX85
PANASONIC DMR-EH50
The Toshiba RD85DT is probably the one that I am most swaying to at the moment. It has the essential criteria for me (timeslip/HDD/Freeview), the only negative is that it doesn't support many DVD types but I don't think this would be much of a problem. Also I noticed that someone mentioned it has just received a 'best buy' award in one of the magazines.
Any comments/thoughts greatly appreciated...
