Hard Drive DVD Recorders

Welcome to the Hard Drive DVD Recorders page, some DVD recorders have an internal hard drive (HDD) that can be used to record onto.

These DVD recorders that have a hard drive offer much more than the standard DVD recorders, recording is allot easier as you do not need blank media and they also have a much larger capacity. And if the DVD recorder has Freeview then recording is a breeze, simply choose a programme from the Freeview menu and press record for the recording to be scheduled.

Some hard drive DVD recorders also offer the ability to pause live television (often called live pause) which is a very cool feature, when you press pause the DVD recorder starts recording onto the hard drive and then when you press play it plays the recording to you and keeps recording the programme so that you don't miss the end of the programme. And when in this live mode you can also often fast forward or re-wind as you are watching the recording and this is especially useful for skipping commercial breaks!

The important thing to look for when you buy a DVD recorder with a hard drive is the size of the HDD, common HDD sizes include 80GB, 160Gb and 250GB. The larger the HDD is the more you will be able to record and the extra space will always come in useful as if you are recording long programmes like films and football matches the HDD can fill up very fast.
