Let me start by saying that I have an analogue TV and I'm very happy with it. I don't intend to buy a digital TV until my analogue TV breaks down and then I shall consider buying a High Definition TV depending on the where the future of HD stands at the time and the availability of HD channels.
I also have a freeview box that I'm happy with but my DVD recorder (which does not have a hard drive!) is starting to go on the blink....
So I am looking for a new DVD recorder and I want to upgrade into some of the new functionality available. That means "Pause and rewind Live TV", recording a digital channel whilst viewing another digital channel, recording a whole TV Series with a push of a button, all done from a nice user friendly on-screen menu etc,
However, I do want to retain the ability to record to DVD's as well as the hard drive.
So I think I am right in saying that what I need is a DVD recorder that has two digital TV tuners (either FreeView+ or FreeSat) with EPG /PDC etc.
The problem is, I can't seem to find one available anywhere!!
Does anyone know if such a machine exists or will be coming available in the near future? If not, what would be the cheapest or the best value for money solution available to me now to get round this problem in the meantime?
Another question (as previously hinted) would be the future of HD and would it be best to buy into FreeView or FreeSat?
PS Let me also say that I don't intend to take up any subsrciption TV, unless for a limited time and it is proven to be economically to my advantage in the long term and doesn't lose me any functionality when the subscription is cancelled.
