Lounge room nerdvana is one step closer now that DVD/hard drive recorders are finally coming with built-in digital tuners, but we're still a long way from my dream device.
One digital tuner is nice, but I really want two so I can record two programs at once. I'm not the only one out there not happy with the current crop of recorders, and many of my fellow nerdvana seekers hang out at DTV Forum. There's an amazing 17 page thread currently running, following their pursuit of the ultimate lounge room companion. They're piecing together scraps from press releases, foreign websites and industry gossip in the hope of discovering something available in Australia that does that whole job rather than the piecemeal solutions available today. Some of the posts really sum up frustrations I feel in my quest, such as walexx's comment; "Im so sick of talking and reading about all this stuff, I just wish they would start to come out on the market. I cant believe that its 2006 and we are still waiting for what is really simple all in one units." Amen to that.
DTV Forum is a great place to pick up leads on where that dream device might come from. They've got high hopes for the Philips Cineos DVDR9000H but I'm sorry to say I didn't think much of it in - I'll post my review soon. The group is also interested in the Omni GO-D660 Digital TV Receiver With HDD & DVD Recorder and the DMC-3900T Twin Tuner Digital media center. Neither are household names, but they both sport dual SD digital tuners so I'll have to add them to my list of things to check out. The search contines.
