    The sales people in Currys/Dixons are untrained imbeciles. Never trust anything they say.

    All HDD/DVD recorders will record from satellite boxes via scart lead. The only things that will not are Digital Terestrial PVRs and as there is no proper DTT yet in Ireland there is no reason these should be sold here at all.

    Practically all HDD/DVD will record from analogue terestrial TV, all sold in Ireland should but the odd Digital Terestrial only UK model may get sold here although I haven't ever seen one in an Irish shop.
