freeview / high def / divx / hdd - does this exist?

[SooTyLaD]

i would absolutely love a unit that does:

• DivX output (preferably in High Def)
• HDD (>160GB)
• Freeview Support

does something that can manage all this exist? if not what is the best thing nearest to what i want?

i saw that a new version of my pioneer 530H is out (or is soon to come out) but the user-friendlyness of mine is pretty poor as i'm used to panasonic and sony stuff so maybe the 540 wouldn't be for me (but thats not high def anyway)...

recommend peeps

Well... suppose it's stating the obvious, but something that'll do all that and more: A Media Center PC.

No Hi-Def Divx player exist

I think the kiss DP-600 can play HD divx.

You're joking.
I install loads of DVD recorders for people and the Pioneers are easily the easiest to use and edit with. In fact they're a dream machine to use.
I bought two 530's and I will be buying the 540 later.

Anything in particular you're having problems with?

a few things matey... sometimes the wrong channel gets recorded (it will be called what its supposed to be but will contain a different program)

sometimes what i record is overlayed with a big bloody red screen telling me summat about bbc three

few things like that...

it aint too bad i guess, so do you think a 540 would be the thing to go with?

1 - I presume this is with the Guideplus? Have you definitely setup the right receiver with it? If you're on about the normal analogue signals then its never happened to me.

2 - If theres a big red screen about BBC 3 then its coming from your original source. All DVD recorders will record what you put into it. The Pioneer won't put its own screens up over the signal.

3 - I can't wait to get my hands on a 540.

hmm... well both of those issues will be resolved by a 540 since i wont be using an external freeview reciever...

sounds good to me so it does

is that THE unit to get or are there comparable models from panny etc?
