Hi,

Great new site, it looks very good. Thanks to everybody involved in the creation of the new site.

I'm planning to buy a hdd-recorder and would like to be able to control it with a Beo4 thru my Avant. I have been looking at different solutions; B&O DVD-controller, OneRemote (int. & ext.) and Lintronic. I'm not sure which of the solutions is working best.

Anybody who have experience (good or bad) in controlling a hdd-recorder with one of these solutions?

I have a Panasonic DVD recorder/HDD/Freeview box and can work most of it using a Beo4 and a DVD controller. Not tried too hard to work out all the functions but it is pretty good. I believe B&O could be bringing out a recordable DVD pretty soon though.

Yes the DVD2, to be released in June, will have an 250Gb HD + a DVD reader/recorder.
I am really looking for it.

The DVD 2 is coming in June (in France):

 

  • DVD drive (of course !)
  • 250 GB HDD drive
  • able to write DVDs (only from HDD: you can't record a television show directly on a DVD)
  • HDMI output for easy plug (even if it is not HD)

 
The total length for records on the hard drive is far greater than the HDR 2 (I was told 10 times, with the same picture quality ! -> to be confirmed).

Price tag: 1500 €. 

I have found no pictures at the moment, but same design/dimensions than HDR 2.

That is possible with a new compression algorithm : mpeg4 instead of mpeg 2 for instance... This is possible with a good processor.

Sounds very promising but va lack of a built in digital tuner and hence EPG would probably put me off. And the fact that Sky+ is just so easy!

What about the BeoSystem 3's tuner? Are we sure that this cannot tune into two stations at once? If it could, then this in fact makes things easier than having one built into the DVD2 as it means you'll only have one module to swap when the digital standard changes.

If this isn't so, then it would seem to be a little pointlessly hindered.
