Wish to buy a DVD recorder.

[Spacedementia87]

We have a panasonic TV, leading to my Dad desperate to buy a panasonic DVD recorder for some reason.

I am wary of doing this because of the fatal flaws listed.

Can anyone recomend a good DVD recorder.

The things I look for:

1. Good picture and audio quality.
2. Quite a simple way to set it recording the channel you are watching (mothers!!)
3. (optional) playback of Xvid(or DivX)

Thank you for any help.

Try a Pioneer, I would say JVC but its very complicated.

We are looking to spend <£150 hopefully
but £200 is the limit.
