Page 1 of Panasonic DMR-E20 vs Philips DVDR880

I am looking to buy a DVD Recorder

Which of the above it considered the better. I know the discs are cheaper for the panasonic as they are DVD-R. I just want to record TV and stuff.

Would appreciate opinions of both owners

Thanks

well if you record on DVD-R, once you have watched your TV show the disc goes in the bin unless of course you want to keep the show or lend it to someone else. You can of course record on DVD-RAM which allows you to erase and re-record but you are highly unlikely to be able to lend it to someone else as they probably won`t have a compatible player.
