RE: ELLION dvr-530s TV tuner

Thanks for the advice, fellas. Looks like it has a good spec. but bad quality.
KDH, did you ever buy one?
Can anyone suggest another fanless recorder with similar spec. and price that will work for more than 3 months?
Anybody got any experience of BNI 1000R or Cambridge Audio DVD55+RW?
It looks like a purchaser`s nightmare out there!
Thanks for your help.

ELLION dvr-530s TV tuner

Hi
I`m trying to decide on a new DVD recorder. The Ellion DVR-530s seems to have all I need and has got good reports on earlier threads in this forum.
Only problem is finding out if the internal TV tuner is NICAM stereo or mono. Can anybody confirm which it is and that it works?
I nearly bought a Tangent DVR 500, but had eventually to e-mail Tangent support to find out that it only had a mono tuner. It wasn`t mentioned in any of the specs or Manual.
The Ellion Manual looks very similar in the Tuner section, so I am suspicous.
Would also be interested to hear any other comments on the Ellion, especially overheating, as I want to buy a fanless model.
The next choice I can find is Cambridge Audio DVD55+RWI, but it is £50 dearer. Is it worth the extra?
Thanks.
