I'm not worried about Freeview - that will sort itself out over time. Can any of the DVD recorders mentioned (or any other models) record two channels at the same time? Is this technology available yet? Cheers. M. As far as I know, most of the main stream recorders only have one tuner, therefore can only record one channel at a time. However, you can record to the HDD or DVD, and watch from the HDD at the same time. |

Is that bad?If you have good reception, don't want widescreen and don't want to watch any content that will be available on the new stations, then no, it isn't bad. It depends entirely on the person, but it is worth mentioning because I get the feeling that many people probably haven't thought that far ahead.
