VCR/DVD Combo with Hard Drive

The title to this post says it all really. Can anyone recommend a VCR/DVD combo with hard drive?

We have a stack of engineering videos at work which we wish to convert to DVD. The difference in quality doesn`t worry us too much. As the Company changes it`s name every 9 nmonths or so, the hard drive would be handy to allow slight editing of titles, etc.

I know I could upload everything to the PC, edit, burn onto DVD etc but my boss has asked for a simpler solution. Plus I think he wants to take it home at weekends which is why he asked me to also find one with a digital tuner ..... (I can`t)

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hm, one box containing DVD recorder, VCR, HDD and a Freeview tuner - he don`t want much , do he! LOL :D

Well, I found 2 machines that can deliver 3 out of four options each time:

www.panasonic.co.uk/dvd-recorders/dmr-ez45vebs/index.htm

www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/product_detail.jsp?product_id=11157&taxonomy_id=45-133

Both would be great machines to operate, and reliable. One has the Freeview tuner but no HDD and one has the HDD but no Freeview.

Take your pick!

If you get it, maybe you could post a review of it here? It looks brilliant!
