Review: What a great buy this Panasonic DMR-ES20DEBS DVD RAM recorder is. When my VCR broke, I was confused by the range of DVD recorders on offer - do I want one with hard drive, without, DVD + or DVD -. Then I found this one. We all know that analogue TV will be switched off and so in order to watch one programme and record another at the same time, you will need two digi boxes. This box is now filling the role of two devices for me. The programme guide is great and setting a recorder is very easy. I've a disabled brother and was worried about how he would manage in the digital world long term. If technology like this continues to improve in this direction, no worries. The DVD-RAM option means you can record a programme and watch it in catch up mode (skip the adverts while it is being recorded).A great purchase and I'm really pleased with it. |
