Hello, I'm looking to find a cheapish DVD recorder, as in a DVD player that I can connect to the TV and record onto disk format what's showing on the tv. I had a look earlier but I could only find ones that had built in hard drives and recorded to that but I want to be able to record to a blank disk.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a suitable product?
Many thanks, Elliot.

(1) hardly anybody makes them anymore, only LG and Panasonic I think since Toshiba, Sony and Philips pulled out of the market and
(2) it makes most sense to record to hard drive first, edit the recording by removing adverts etc then burn to DVD disc once you are happy with the editing. That is why no manufacturer in their right mind would sell a DVD recorder which didn't contain a hard drive of some kind built into it.
Once burned to DVD you can delete the archive from the hard drive if you want to.
But even if there is a hard drive in the machine it in no way prevents you creating a DVD disk copy.
And by the way the recorder uses it's own tuner(s) to record TV programmes. It does not use the TV for anything other than displaying what it is doing.
