Nice spot, reserved one of each awaiting the responses.
I need something with a hard drive to link to a security camera so this is perfect even if it`s only single tuner as it`ll let me record 24 hours then run it back to disc if needs be.
(I hope!)

RE: Couple of cheap dvd recorders with 160gb HDD at Argos
Picked up the Wharfedale DVDR24HD160 yesterday (only one `local` Argos has stock and it was the last one).
First impressions of recording quality are good, but only tried the HDD so far. Ability to `pause` live TV for up to an hour is handy (works for both inbuilt tuner and external sources such as Sky box).
The manual isn`t very clear (are any of them?) and the user interface is a bit quirky - certainly not as straighforward as the Panasonic that we have had for a couple of years.
But for £75, with a 160Gb HDD it seems to be a very good buy.

Like carolyn I bought two yesterday.
Doesn`t appear to be low stock in itself though as I found quite a few around.
Thought about the Acoustic Sol. one but for a fiver extra to have it with HDMI seemed silly not to.
One`s for me (security camera) the other for christmas pressie so I`m pretty happy with them.
Manual is crap, doesn`t look like it has much in the way of editing (seems like drop to disc to me but haven`t gone into it much), setup reasonably easy and straightforward.
Does the trick for me with the camera though, and that woulda cost me well in excess of £75 for a hard drive that could do 24 hour security recording.
