available at various online stores (like Unbeatable, Electrical
Discount UK, LXDirect etc), prices around £270-£300.

I don't understand the logic of manufacturers: Sony have one model that has
Freeview and DVD (but no HDD) and another with DVD and HDD (but no
Freeview). There are various PVRs with Freeview and HDD but no DVD. Now
Panasonic have brought out a Freeview/DVD alongside their DVD/HDD models.

Why has no-one yet brought out a model that contains DVD, HDD and Freeview?
I'm delaying buying until one comes out, because I don't trust my OnDigital
box to last much longer: the front panel regularly locks up and stops
responding to signals from the remote even though it happily carries on
decoding digital TV.

Freeview?

Sony are bringing out a new flagship model in October that has a 250GB
HDD/DVD DL recorder with Freeview. It is replacing the now defunct
RDR-HX1000

Providing this does cut and divide and variable bit rate recording this
should be one on the hot list.

Looks like a singe tuner, which is pretty limiting and will be even
more limiting at analogue switch-off.

Don't worry, it'll be obsolete at analogue switch-off.

The manufacturers deliberately drip-feed new features in order to milk the
maximum possible amount of money out of the public.

Each new feature stimulates another round of sales. And you can be sure
that all the hardware and software 'hooks' for the extra goodies are in
there from day one, to make it very simple and cheap to enhance the products
later on.

Marketing, they call it. The *******s.

Why would you need a twin-tuner in your recorder? We all used single tuner
VCRs for years without complaining!

We didn't complain, we went out and bought second (and even third) VCRs.

(Actually Amstrad used to make a twin deck VCR - but I think that only had a
single tuner, didn't it?)
