Panasonic DMR-EX769 DVD/HDD Freeview PVR

It does everything I expected plus quite a bit more! Particularly liked the fact that it automatically stays recording if a programme runs late.

Consumer review by:

A quality bit of kit.

 

A one box solution to the digital switchover. So one remote and you have freeview, a dvd recorder/player and also a hard disc recorder. Panasonic quality evident throughout.
