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

 ...

Price tag: 1500 €. 

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

 

Hi Emmanuel,

what is the price tag for the HDR2 in France? Here in Germany, the HDR2 costs little less than 1400€ and I think it is very "un-B&O" to charge only 100€ more for a recorder that is basically the HDR2 plus a DVD drive.

Do you know, if the DVD2 will have the same "playback while recording" capability like the HDR?

Hi Michael,

Sorry I do not have the French price tag at the moment for the HDR 2...

I agree with you: HDR 2 possessors will be quite frustrated ! 🙁

I have no user manual at this time and therefore I cannot tell you if this "time shift" capability will be there with DVD 2... I assume it will do it.

Regards
 

With only a analogue tuner, it is not of any use.

In Holland, we don 't jave analogue terrestrial broadcastings anymore and the cable  companies are also switching to digital.

In England it is also all freeview.

I wonder what kind of people invent such a thing as the DVD 2.

Thanks guys,

That's very useful info about DVD2. I remember having read in the old forum that DVD2 only is a DVD reader/burner and is meant to be used together with a HDR 1/2. Is it confirmed that DVD2 has a built in HDD?

All this talk about DVD2 still doesn't answer my question about controlling a non B&O hdd-recorder...

I want to buy a couple of  Keymaster "Link Converters" from Stonedesign in Denmark to control a DVD Player and a NTL Cable box from ny Beo4       http://stonedesign.dk/en/

I also have an Avant and I want to use the Beo4 remote for controlling as many boxes as possible 🙂

but before I buy a couple I wanted to know what Stonedesign advise me to buy, which HDD Recorder or DVD players work with the Link Converter gadget they have - is it all "smoke and mirrors" - or does it really work ????

Apparently there are some dealers in the UK who have bought from Stonedesign in the past  - like OmegaTech and M&G Services, it might be worth contacting those dealers for pricing, as I have had no luck contacting Stonedesign directly in Denmark.
