DVD (R) w/ Tuner & AVI Support

365 Views 6 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  togomenu
I looked about and did not see anything like this, but I was wondering if there was a DVD player that you could record to off of TV, had a TV tuner built in (like a VCR) and possibly, but not really necessarily could play mpg, avi, etc. files. I know a HTPC would do this, but I am a financially challenged educator and well... I have to live within my means. Any suggestions for something similar to this?

They all have tuners.


There are one or two I've heard about with DivX support.
Do you recall the brands with Divx support?
I saw this on Ebay and saw the rough reviews on Amazon:


Toshiba D-R4 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder


I'm looking for something similar, but of better quality yet roughly the same price. I think it was around $150. Any suggestions for something stable? I play a lot of DVDRs I make with my laptop, compatability and ease of use are strong selling points. Trying to keep the family happy.

No, sorry.
I'm bidding on this: PANASONIC DMR-ES20


I know it lacks divx support, but the reviews on the RCA were pretty rough. I can live without it.
