BobbyT Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 The vcr finally died. I can't see buying another one. Since I'm picking up my new syuff Sat. I'm going to pick up a DVD rec too. Something with a TV tuner that works like a VCR. What is a good fairly inexpensive model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Bobby, The OneCall.com site has DVD recorders on it in a wide range of prices. Some also have hard drives. There are several different recording formats. Some work like a VCR, DVD-RAM. Others are write once only, DVD-R. Different brands support different formats. I have a Panasonic DMRE-95HS that supports DVD-RAM and DVD-R. It has a hard drive and it is slow to boot and may freeze on boot. Otherwise, it is very good.

Shiva Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I think DVD recorders are great. I have the panasonic E55. I payed $199 at Costco. It records on DVD-ram and DV-R. Puts out a great picture as well on my 90" diagonal front projection screen. A Vcr looks like crap when blown up that big so in the closet it went. It will not be used by me again.

MrMcGoo Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Bobby, The Pioneer in your post looks good. If I had not started on the Panasonics several years ago, I would go with Pioneer. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyT Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Thanks for the help guys. I called my dealer and he said he had one of the Pioneers in stock. I told him to put it on my pile of stuff. 1 day till I pick it all up, 3 days till I hook it all up. Man I'm getting anxious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
