  Thanks guys for the input. Great info there BarryW will certainly look more closely at those links later on. I hadnt heard of a PVR to tell you the truth but that twin tuner one looks like the route to take.
  
  Honestly as Howard says there Im in antigues roadshow territory here with my video recorder...which I bought off the shelf in double quick time in Tesco after my previous one expired. I put no thought into it whatsoever just bought the damn thing off the cuff. It was a cheap FUNAI thing but it lasted just as long as other more expensive models I had. I bought it with view to it lasting a short while, and it outlasted expectations but when it went bust a few days ago there was no prior warning so I am in mourning!
  
  Barry W-S thanks too, I dont have any DVDs though so a player wouldnt be of use but thanks anyway. The hard drive route is for me and as Terry said there re his VCRs mine will be joining those on the TIP later this week.
  
  FURTHER TECHO THING:
  
  while we are on about the technicalities of TV...is anybody having sound loss problems on the digital service. On some channels I get a very annoying lapse in sound every so often and sometimes it happens more regularly than others so completely wrecks a film you might be watching.
  
  The heroine says to the hero..
  
  "Ive only got one thing to say to you John Ryan and its this ----------------!"
  then the sound comes back. Whether she loves him, hates him, is about to shoot him Gawd alone knows!
  
  Is there anything that can be done about this??
