I'm after some recommendations for a media recorder. I have setup my ageing in-laws with my old Hdd Media recorder (so they can stop using VHS) to record off their satellite TV. I was going to use a simple USB setup but the Sat receiver doesn't offer Timer functions. I have an old recorder one that has a timer function but has since developed a fault that keeps blowing my power supplies. I can't track the fault and am sick of buying new power supplies.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a new recorder? It needs to have Video and Audio in capabilities and have a timer function. The one I used to have was a EM-30D (or similar - it was a standalone 3.5" enclosure). I would prefer a HDD unit and not a DVD or STB.

Thanks,


BS
