My EH60 recorder does a better recording than the later EX75 with its
inbuilt digital tuner. The EH60 made in Japan and the EX75 made in
China. The EX75 is a lot more quiet when recording than the EH60 and
with its digital tuner I can set the timer to record different digital
stations.

Yeah, the 75 has some great points but I had read a lot of reviews
which made it sound perfect, so i was a little disappointed.

It must bve said though that the EX75 digital tuner isn't as good as a
separate digital set top box on my system and I know a fair few others
have found the same.

I agree entirely. I have had to reboot this machine a few times as the
digital text etc stops working, even after a recent software fix. Our
standalone digital receiver was about =A320 and has never done that.

What I do is have my older Humax STB connected to the EX75 which does
boost the performance of the EX75 tuner. I have the Humax via AV4 so I
can always go to that channel and do as before to use that digital
tuner but I have noticed the EX75 tuner reception is better when the
Humax is connected using the EX75 digital tuner. The aerial goes
through the Humax and then into the EX75.

You can try that if you like. That way whn the EX75 digital tuner
isn't working as well as it should go back to AV4 and use your old set
top box to record.

I notice the EX75 has artifacts around moving objects where my Humax
doesn't.

Hoping thart the new Pioneer 940HX has a half decent digital tuner in
them as I would sell my Panasonics to get one.

Cool, might be worth a try. Thanks for that and fingers crossed for
the Pioneer.

Current is a 75 (without VHS) , which I use mainly in 2 hour mode,
including hard disc. First machine was an ES10 and I have tried an
ES15 and an ES45.

I take it your posting from the US as the ES45 was never released here
in Australia.

UK actually, and I may be wrong about the exact model number too, I'm
pretty bad at remembering all those little ES etc.

In Japan and some other countries there is the Panasonic XW30 with its
400Gb hard drive and the Panasonic XW50 with its 500Gb hard drive
where it can record two digital channels at the same time.

Wow, now it would be nice to have that second model with the twin
tuner!

Pioneer has the 940HX which looks an awesome unit with its massive
500Gb hard drive and an eSATA ext hard drive port for adding extra
hard drives via external connections.

brilliant!

Lucky for you as they are available in the UK right now.
Go to this site and in the middle of the pag eyou can download a small
12Mb video of what this new Pioneer recorder can do. It even has USB
ports.
http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products...X-S/index.html

Left click on the link for the video ----
Watch a demo video of the DVR-940HX-S

The Pioneer 940HX is the larger 500Gb model.
There is a cheaper 160Gb model which is likely to be about a third the
price of its larger brother.

Thanks for that. Sounds like a great machine.

How much time depends on the recorder.
I've always used 6-hour mode recording to the VHS tapes.
When I started with DVD, I recorded them at 6-hour mode. I don't see
any difference after recording thousands of hours.
However, You should try different modes and determine for yourself
which one you like the best.
Get a few -RW discs so that you can do a lot of testing at a
reasonable cost. They are re-useable.

Do you not get blockiness etc when recording at 6 hours?

============================

Recording VHS tapes to DVD disc.

Both the tape and the disc look the same to me when playing them.

It doesn't necessarily follow that everybody will get the same results
on different brands of tape recorders and players, DVD recorders and
players and TV's.

That's why I suggested that he try it on his equipment to see what he
actually gets.

I'm not familiar with "blockiness". Can you describe it?

========================

I have had a few occurrences of that but after erasing and
re-recording it doesn't re-occur. It only has occurred on a small
portion of the disc. I have a couple of different brands and it
seems to happen only on Sony's. I don't think it has happened
on either the Memorex or TDK's.

Anyway, it only happens 1 or 2 percent of the time.
