thanks for the info, btw do you know if the tv tuner is mono or stereo. I've read that bargain recorders have mono tuners like the liteon and cyberhome which I've also considered. also any know audio issues, I' m really tempted to buy one soon, perhaps this weekend

thanks

hey me again, forgot to ask if anyone knows if there is a region hack for this, I kind of doubt there is one yet since its so new but never hurts to ask

No idea on either question - I paid the extra money and bought a brand name DVD recorder (Panasonic).
