Hi Ray
I've just bought a panasonic dvd recorder with 160 gb HD, model 769 for £212
from Amazon. It is inaccessible , but I have a sighted partner to programme
it for me.
I bought this model as Panasonic are the only manufacturer to incorporate AD
with the recordings. Using long play mode it will record approx 170 hours of
video. It uses freeview 2 so will start and end accurately even when the
programme has a delayed start.
Models 79 and 89 have 250 gb and 400 gb respectively.
The disadvantages are:
Totally inaccessible.
will only record one programme at a time and when recording it does not let
you watch another channel, a previously recorded programme or a dvd.
The advantages are that it records those all important audio description
tracks with freeview programmes.
HTH

Subject: recommendations re. Freeview-based HD recorder (UK)
First, apologies to list owner and mod if this is considered off-topic,
but I
welcome off-list replies if that's the way to go with this question.
I live in the UK and I'm considering buying a Freeview-based HD and DVD
recorder. Would be nice if this would also record audio description on
the
few on the few programmes that have it, but not absolutely essential.
So just some thoughts on a recoreder that might be less hassel than some
to
use, though I realise they're horribly visually driven these days. I do
have
a little useful vision.
Any thoughts, on or off list welcome.
Ray.
