Hi all, With advance thanks, I need to know if there is a DVD recorder that has the following functionality: Have a HD (80 Gig or better) Record onto DVD R (plus and minus) record onto DVD RW (plus and minus) Read above discs Support MP3 and Jpeg play Play back MPEG4 , DivX Have G-code Read CD-R , CD-RW Am I dreaming???
The Toshiba can be found here: http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/dvr/product.asp?model=rs-tx60 It uses Minus discs only , with RW capability. I have had a Pioneer 810H with TIVO for nearly two years now and I love it, If I did not have it I would buy that Toshiba. I would consider buying it anyhow , as a second unit, except that by the end of this year or early next year they should be coming out with units that accept cablecards. What is a Cablecard ?? Glad that you asked. A Cablecard is the size of a PCMCIA card. It is effect the cable box that does the unsrambling of the cable signal , and lets the pay channels plus digital channels work.All in that little card.My Pioneer and this Toshiba are analog or Standard Defintion machines . To work with Digital cable or Hi-Def and for ease of set up and use , a Cablecard DVR with TIVO will not be available till later this year or next year.
