Afternoon all

What are my options for the above? Im not looking too spend too much £200 - £300, lower is better, but what options do i have as im getting annoyed at the amount of videos piling up in my room and the number of boxes (freeview, vcr and dvd player) is kinda getting on my nerves.

Any suggestions VERY welcome

I dont think there is one with Freeview, VCR and DVD, however there is a Freeview & DVDR.

Unfortunately, thats outside of your budget a wee bit but it does what you want. Save some more pennies?

You can get the panny es20 for about 160 multi region. I can vouch for it being an excellent machine...top quality for the money. I own the es10 which is identical but minus the freeview bit. Doddle to swap all your videos onto dvd with it too (apart from originals that is).

I am highly impressed with my Sony dvd rw/ hdd /freeview machine i found it for 300 a few months ago so it should be even cheaper now

real good quality freeview reciever ( unlike my awful philips stb i might add) lots of different quality settings on hdd especially, and also options like chasing playback (ie watching the recording from the start you are still doing) recording one channel while watching something else, 160gb hdd, and its just a quality machine with componant outputs also best home cinema purchase i have made in a while

Saw a Freeview HDD recorder box in Argos today, It was £95 and came with a 80GB HDD.
