    Any recommendations? i saw a couple of Lite-On DVD+HDD recorders in V-mall a few years back, but i guess it didn't catch on. Ang mamahal kasi ng mga nakikita ko, and preferrably i'd like one that doesn't have a DVD burner -- i'll do the burning offline na lang.

    i'm tempted to do another DIY project on this, but the failure of my first project is still fresh on my mind; kelangan kasi me computer knowledge to make it work. This time around everything should be done with the push of a few buttons.

    Go with a Home Theater PC (HTPC). But it will require some computer knowledge to set it up... especially when choosing and installing a TV tuner.

    Dati dala iyan dito ng Axis-Global pero hindi ko na nakikita lately. Most likely sa Singapore mo pa iso-source.

    mainly just to record cooking shows B)

    re HTPCs...mahal kasi ng casing na ganyan. i think the total cost of setting it up is about the same as true DVD+HDD recorders.

    There are actually a lot of slim type casings out there that go for under 2k -- 500w PSU included. Kaso they're still a bit bulky compared to a true DVD+HDD recorder.

    Nettops are also another choice, pero me kamahalan din.

    If you have an existing PC, why not just install either a TV tuner card or a USB TV tuner device and use it's software to record your shows?
