mello yello Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 wow....... http://www.homecinemachoice.com/cgi-bin/shownews.php?id=6977 with some interesting features ie twin tuners and " The new DVR also pioneers recording of copy-once content generated by Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM), a standard increasingly used in digital broadcasting. The “RD-X5” offers viewers the ability to save copy-once content to a Toshiba-developed dedicated DVD-R that records in the DVD VR format. " no mention of price
fossil1503559605 Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I did not read past where it said analogue tuners....lost interest real quick....is there any mention of Digital tuners as well???... Anyway...there is a problem with that much recording space for two Tuners of any sort..you really need 4 Digital tuners to utilise that space properly... foss
BigBobOz Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I'm in your camp foss, what's the deal with persisting with analogue tuners??? I just don't understand
betty boop Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I'm in your camp foss, what's the deal with persisting with analogue tuners???I just don't understand <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah I can't get it either
alanh Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 The reason they persist with analog tuners is two fold 1. Digital TV is not universally available 2. There is pressure from the film industry for no digital to digital copies because the quality remains pristine! Pirates here we come! AlanH
fossil1503559605 Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 Hi...I think you will find that it will contravene Aussies copyright laws if they place a Digital tuner in a DVD recorder without recording restrictions...already there are copyright problems on some DVD recorders when recording even SD...some members have reported recording restrictions with movies... foss The reason they persist with analog tuners is two fold1.

dischucker Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Analogue tuners are still quite attractive to people who have Foxtel - only being able to record 5 out of the 40 odd channels (for a DTV PVR) is not very appealing. The reality is that Foxtel repeats all the programs so much that you don't need to record it (generally).
