| 614163 | 2007-11-23 02:48:00 | After 10 years our VCR really went down. I cannot complain - it has never given any trouble until last night. So I must update - at the moment I fancy a SONY 160gb hard drive which is priced at $600 But I get different stories Dick Smiths tell me that model is no longer made so they don't stock it. Bond & Bond tell me that the device will date stamp my recordings Sony who should know tell me it will not date stamp. So am I doing the right thing. I would like it even better if I could have teletext subtitles also recorded. Any users with their comments would be helpful. I am in CONSUMERS and they reckon it is best buy but then I have found sometimes even consumers get it wrong! Tom |

| 614167 | 2007-11-24 01:54:00 | Thanks all - I went out and got a Sony. I am amazed at just how good it is. Not perfect. I like the way my computers can play a DVD and then if I go back weeks later to finish it asks me if I want to play from where I left off last time. The Sony will not do that. But otherwise it is terrific. And the menus are so logical compared with many I have fought in the past! I did get a little confused by the way it refers to copying to DVD disks form the hard drive as "dubbing" Tom |

I think they employ someone to write in the confusion,at least that is what one might think. |
