Hi,

I am looking to buy a DVD recorder with a 160gb HD.

Can anyone recommend a good one for around £250....I was looking at the LG Rh-188, it looks to have a lot of features including DivX playback.

Is there another one similar to this so that I can compare the features before I commit to buying.

Thx in advance.

It would be helpful to include the name
of your country.
I'm in the USA, so I don't know if the recorders
in my signature are available where you are.

I am in the UK.

I have checked out both the Lite-On HD-A760GX and LVW-5055GDL+ both of which has a 250GB capacity...but the only thing it doesn't have is a HDMI connector, is this a necessity, otherwise they are better value for money with the bigger hard drive.

As far as I know, HDMI is a luxury, not a necessity.

How good is the A760, is it a replacement for the 5055GDL+?

I have read reviews on the 5055 which critisises the playback features.

- The Negative (from http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Revi...6813&PageId=13)

* Several annoying playback "features"
* Does not allow you to remove channels when using auto search mode of TV Tuner
* Macrovision protection cannot be "removed"
* Not 100% compliant despite being advertised as DivX certified
* Doesn't recognize DVD±R DL (DVD+R DL booktype) during playback
* Doesn't support WMV9/Mp4 media formats

You need to find a review of the HD-A740GX.
It's the same machine as the 760 except for the
size of the hard drive (160 GB).
Or do a search in this forum.
