RE: Some DVD bargains if you're interested, including DVDR!

* drochaid laughs at the shortsighted twillops

surely the argument on whether PVR or DVD-* is preferable is irrelevant?
what we should be asking [IMHO of course] is when are they going to stop pi= ssing about and give us a PVR with built in DVD-* ?

options to record to HD or DVD on an overview and per program basis ... opt= ions to move a program on HD to DVD and vice versa

the technologies are highly compatible, and really shouldn't be seen as com= petitors

now .. who wants to be first to say I'm talking bollocks?
