Title: RE: [ukha_d] Some DVD bargains if you're interested, including DVDR!

That's a bloody good idea!

 

Hmmm - should I talk to SonicBlue tomorrow? Or should I have a chat with the Comet category manager and get him to :-)

* 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 pissing about and give us a PVR with built in DVD-* ?

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

the technologies are highly compatible, and really shouldn't be seen as competitors

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