PVR question - Any recommendations?

dbentham

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a basic PVR device OR a multimedia HDD enclosure that supports real time recording via SCART (IN). Portable (2.5") form factor preferred but 3.5" would also do.
Basically, something similar to a VCR with one-touch-record on an AV channel (they were the days, but minus the hassle of tapes).

Quite simply, I'd need to record FROM various devices that have scart OUT such as xbox, satellite receiver, etc.

I can find plenty of examples of hdd recorders online, but invariably they seem to either generally
(a) be costly & bulky, incorporating DVDr features that i wouldn't even use or
(b) be geared towards 'Freeview' reception and the digital-tv scene in general (which I know is not quite applicable over here yet) as opposed to what I outlined above.

Thanks in advance and please forgive my limited knowledge on this subject

Something like this might be okay for you. No scart input but it has composite input. You can get it in 500GB or 1TB sizes. 2 of the lads in work picked them up before Christmas and seem very happy with them as you can use it as a media streamer too.
