HM HDS4 question
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 9:58 pm
I know, it's getting to be an old machine now, but I'm still using mine and I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone might be able to help with...
Firstly it seems to have stopped doing timer recordings to the HDD, which is very puzzling. I don't use PDC (I actually record from a Sony Freeview box attached to the SCART) so it should just work. Instant and Chase recording works fine. Does it ring any bells?
Secondly I get occasional jumps on playback, I'm guessing the HDD is on the way out, but again is there anything else known to cause this?
Finally (okay, approximately a couple of questions I was looking for a replacement. Obvious candidates seem to be the:
Panasonic DMR-EX88
Pioneer DVR-LX70D
Sony RDR-HXD1095
or a Humax box (9300?)
Does anyone have a feeling for which has the most of the JVC functionality (e.g. 15 min jumps, recording from chase play, etc) and any other comments of these or similar models?
Thanks in advance for any help that is possible!
