Great machine I use Panasonic`s own RAM and -R discs. They aren`t that expensive,and easy to get hold of from the local Panny shop. As for recording,I have it connected so that I can use the `direct-link` function. Go to your SKY menu,choose a programme,press `autoview` on the SKY guide,then press `direct-link` on the front of the E50 (not the remote) It does it all for you !
It`s a shame the direct-link function does not work if you choose to use the RGB in/out facility on the E50,but then the non-RGB recordings are of such good quality it`s not really a problem given the benefits of the direct-link button.
