Yup this is a very long shot lol I heard about the IRecord and it sounds a useful item... its something I would like to get, to replace an old Belkin video capture device I have which is rather elderly and riddled with glitches/bugs and so on.
This would make for a good replacement and at the moment I have a problem, where ive got a new TV, my old one was a VCR combi but my new one isn't a combi and basically I've had to connect my old standalone VCR to the TV through SCART to be able to play back my old VHS tapes. The other thing I'd like to be able to do would be to ocassionally record from my Telewest/VM cable box. I'd only want to do it ocassionally but ive faffed about with my VCR and just can't seem to get it to find and record from the VM box... and the IRecord would be cool as I have a PSP I could watch the recorded footage on.
Anyway the problem is that the IRecord is not only very expensive (£160 in the UK, which to me is very expensive) but it doesn't offer a timer record function... ok there is some timer record option but only when used with an IPod and some extra desktop software I believe and I dont have and dont really want an IPod so thats not much use for me...
I wondered if anyone knows whether there is a similar device out there that does offer a timer record feature? or does anyone know if the IRecord will offer it as a feature in the future? just curious... if it was £100 or under I'd probably buy it and quite how its $199 in the US equates to being £159.99 in the UK I don't know, I guess its more expensive here - typical rip off Britain
but it would be nice to have something like this that could quickly record footage that I could then watch on my PSP or store on a flash drive or something... im not sure this is the best forum to ask this in but its for use with portable devices so I guessed it was close enough. I'm seriously not wanting to pay that kind of money for it when it doesnt even have a proper timer record function, I've got other stuff I wanna get too (lol)...
