Hi everyone, what is the best way to record TV programs for watching later? Of course, the old way of VCR is there. But any newer ideas? How about buying a TiVo kind of thing in HK? Or, how about a DVD recorder with a rewritable DVD? Thanks.

DVD recorder with a built-in hard disk drive of atleast 80GB is the way to go. Get a branded model and try to avoid mainland Chinese brands like BBK which I have!

I use a Panasonic and highly recommend it. I did use a mainland unit in the past until one evening there was thick smoke coming out of the vents. Not sure about the brand but this company used Schwatznegger in their ads a few years ago.

Are these still very expensive? Any ideas on price and recommended models - I think Panasonics are quite pricey, right?

Thanks.

Panasonics are very good. UK hi-fi magazines rate them as high recommended. They are good value compared to the Sonys. They do have a propensity to offer DVD-RAM which most of us don't use.

Any recommendations on where to get good deals on the HD recorders?
