recommend Freeview VCR / DVD please
Can anyone recommend a Freeview VCR / DVD recorder please. I don't want a PVR as part of it but it was unclear where to post so I've posted in both sections.
Roughly £200 or less is my budget. I don't want lots of clever features. A button on the remote control to switch between wide, 14:1 and the old ratio would be nice. Oh and does both the DVD and the VCR bits have their own Freeview tuner? Thanks for any advice. |

You're going to struggle finding one? - VCR's are pretty well obselete now, and hardly any Freeview ones were ever available, a PVR/DVD recorder is much easier to find and works much better as well.

Fair enough, but given that, for my own bizarre reasons, I do want a Freeview VCR / DVD do you have any suggestions?

As Nigel says does it all but am surprised that the VCR section is not S-VHS spec. |

I can't see it been in production for very long?, I also doubt they will sell many?. Probably see them being sold off for £199 or £149 in the new year?. |
