Panasonic DMR-EX768EBS - 160gb Hard Drive DVD Recorder - With 1080P Up-Conversion & Freeview Playback - Silver
As usual great delivery from Amazon arriving spot on time three days after order placed. After searching through endless reviews I found myself totally confused and took pot luck in the end in ordering this DVD recorder.
So far we are extremely pleased with it. Admittedly the instructions may as well be written in Chinese they are so complicated, but once you have waded through them the player is actually fairly easy to use. Recording is very simple, and the hard drive is extremely useful and easy to transfer to disk. The in built tuner is great, as although we have a digital TV we couldn't record and watch another channel so now we can. There seem to be millions of things it can do which i'm sure we'll never use, but if you just want to be able to record, transfer camcorder recordings onto DVD-RAM etc than I would thoroughly recommend this player. Someone in another review complained that there was no open/close button on the remote which there isn't, but unless you have a robot who will take the disc out and put it away for you I don't get how this is a major issue as you have to get off your chair anyway?
Thanks Amazon and Panasonic!!

Whereas I wouldn't say this has transformed our lives, it's certainly transformed our viewing habits. The only thing you need to consider is that the box only has one tuner. Assuming you have an IDTV the only potential problem is that you can't record two programmes showing at exactly the same time - but with many programmes these days being repeated in different slots we haven't found it to be a problem.
You'll need an HDMI cable to connect to the TV but set up is a doddle, just power on and watch it find the channels. I connected mine to a Sony Bravia and the only thing I did was change the HDMI settings from the default 560p to 720p.
There's quite a bit of adverse comment around about the Programme Guide having adverts; these are, admittedly, a bit distracting but nothing to put you off buying. In fact, the Guide is really easy to use and the great thing is being able to record an entire series with a single click.
One thing to watch out for when copying to DVD is that the recording format has to be identical in order to use high-speed copy. In other words, if you record in SP mode on the HDD you must copy it in SP format to the DVD or the copy process will be done at normal speed (i.e. a one hour programme will take one hour to copy). As SP mode only gives you 2 hours recording on a DVD, you'll probably want to use LP mode for programmes you know you want to copy to DVD later. I use DVD-RAM disks and I can copy just under 2 hours of content in about 15 minutes.
A great product - my wife hasn't missed a single episode of one of her many soaps since we bought it and she can watch them any time she wants.

I have found this DVD / HDD Recorder very easy to set up and use. Picture quality is good and speed of operation is as fast as can be expected. I have my Sky+ box AV2 connected to the DVD AV2 so I can record Sky without any problems. The initial unit I had was faulty, it wouldn't format / record DVDs and thought non RAM type had the protection tab selected. The Panasonic customer help line were very helpful and the Amazon returns procedure is hassle free. I use Maxwell DVD+RW and Panasonic RAM disc (Panasonic recommend Maxwell, JVC and their own discs). Many people prefer RAM discs, I would agree but the format is different so no good for playing in most DVD Players, However the files can be copied to your PC and if the file extension is changed to .mpg they will play on your PC and DVD software can turn them into standard DVD. The unit doesn't have an analogue reciever but this isn't a problem for me as I only use Sky and have bought the unit because my Sky+ disk is always full and I also want to back old VHS to DVD, which I can do through the AV inputs.
