... me to access the sky tv guide and select the programs i wanted to watch. It has a series link option which is really handy for anyone who wants to record a whole series as the recorder will automatically pick up each episode for you! In terms of dubbing quality you have a wide range of choice between very low quality to extremely high quality, although it's hard to fit more than one tv show onto a dvd at extremely high quality. It plays back dvds too so this can replace any existing dvd player you may own and has a...morePrice Comparison for Sony RDR-HXD790

I bought this box for the intended purpose to record tv whilst i was away driving or doing other things so i could watch them at a later date and that's exactly what it allowed me to do.

I bought this product after the digital switchover. We already have digital built in to our TV but I wanted to be able to watch one digital channel whilst recording another so buying this separate box enabled me to do this as I can watch one channel using the digital built in the TV, and recording the other using the digital in this recorder. It has a 120 GB hard disc drive (HDD) and up to 340 hours of recording time. The picture quality is excellent and the external appearance of the box is sleek and not too bulky. I decided to buy this particular recorder as I have always found that Sony products are good quality and reliable. It has both a HDD ... Read the complete review
