Need recommendations for a good DVD/VCR Recorder

[marcb]

I was considering the Panasonic DMR-E50, with the 100GB HD. I have Tivo, so this unit will only be used to record programs while my Tivo is already recording.

However, I really need a new VCR too, as my DVD/VCR combo is shot; So now I'm looking at the Panasonic DMR-E40 DVD recorder/VCR recorder unit; It doesn't have a HD, but uses DVD-Ram, which should give me plenty of programming time.

Any +/- comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, and Happy New Year!!!

Dear marcb,

The lack of responses is probably due to the fact that combo devices are generally not held in high regard.

I think all of us would suggest a separate DVD player for best overall performance and convenience.

Happy New Year!
