A soape of frequency like EastEnders?

So thats more money down the sh*tter.

Stick with your VHS, then. You know it makes sense.

No what makes sense if that the recorder records all digital formats.

Might be if you knew what they were going to be.

How come sound recorders can really all sound waves,
irrigardless of their soape of frequency. But then
maybe sound recorders contain magic?

I suppose you consider your VHS records 'all picture waves' in that case
then. But you'd be wrong in both cases. As usual.

It should be capable of recording all electrical waves modulated around
a particular frequency, the independant of the signal shape just as
a sound recorder can record all sound waves so as to give a reasonable
reproduction on the original when played.

I am not usually wrong, I think you are confusing me with your very
own self. Try and do better in future.

The video equivalent of your sound recorders have been readily
available for decades, so you just point a camcorder at your telly and
you can be completely happy that it'll handle all the soapes of
frequency (whatever they are) you'll ever want. Best of all, you can
bask in the certain knowlege that no-one has ripped you off.

I think I'll just carry on with my obsolete PVR if you don't mind.

Cheers,

Colin.

But in Turkeys case, he would be pointing his 9.5mm centre sprocket
cine camera at the screen...

Yes and if such devices are available and have been for decades,
how come the high priced futuristic PVR is a crock of ****
which can only recorder a particular sort of signal?
An inferior machine to what was available decades ago?

I expect you wil be forking out another pile of dosh for a HD
one in the non to distant future. Deny it it u like.

I don't mind so much what you do with your money
but I think you chould be aaware that if people like you
buy outdated inadaquate crap then the shops shelves become
filled with it and people like me lost out on buying decent products
because there are none available to buy.
So yes I do mind when it impacts on me financially etc..

Cheers,

Colin.

Wha... Hang on... Are you telling me that really *is* how you record
your TV? I suppose I wouldn't put it past you and all that, but even
so...

I'd like to deny it, but now I think i'll specially buy several, just
to be contrary.

Oh look, now I've gone and wronged you with my gratuitous consumer
electronics purchasing. How am I going to sleep at night?

I'm sorry that does not make sense.
I did not say how I recorded my TV, so it is a bit weird how you
can express exaperation about something which you have no information about.


I have a video recorder, which I rarely use
and aslo a USB Freeview stick which cost about £20 which
I use to record to my PC, I certaintly would not fork out £200+ for
a standard def PVR.
I can pick up a HD USB stick for about £14 considerably cheaper
(by over £200) than what you will pay for a HD PVR (if you can find one).

Happy shoppping.

That's probably what you consider to be reasonable advice, given that your
responses here make you look as if you're on drugs.

What's one of them, then? Is it capable of receiving HD Terrestrial TV? If
it is, I'll rush out and get one right now....................
