What I want - a digital recorder that will:

a. Take the place of the VCR in allowing me to record programmes and watch
them later.

b. Allow some connection between the VCR and the TV so I can watch the
tapes I have.

c. Allow me to watch one programme while recording another, both possibly
coming through my SKY box.

Is this possible? If not would I be better to buy a new VCR and wait until
something like SKY+ actually works reliably.


You want a Philips HD/DVD recorder. eg DVDR3300H (Analogue tuner)

You can copy all your VHSs to HD and copy to DVD if yuo want (having ediited
them)
You can record one programme while watching another, or RGB in from SKY
