Same machine is £229 + shipping from Amazon :dunno:

I've just bought the Pioneer 3100 - Older version of the Pioneer DVR-220. Click the link to go to Leading Edge Concepts in the UK (where I bought mine from). The recorder uses DVD-R/W. It's a fantastic machine and has the timeslip functionality your looking for - You can watch a program from the start before it has finished recording or for that matter you can watch anything you have on a disc and record at the same time. A truly excellent machine.

hi daveg

thanks for that, is that model compatible with irish frequencies?

daveg

Yep.

I have 2 sky digiboxes, An RTE & TV3 ariel and a video all feeding into the DVD recorder. The recorder has either manual or automated setup. Hell it'll even tune in the channels as you have them on your TV (if your TV supports it) - ie. Ch1 - RTE1, CH2 - RTE 2 etc etc.

Was wandering past Maplins on Saturday and noticed they've got a DVD recorder in the window but I'm not sure if it has timeslip functionality. I also noticed that hi fi store beside the ha'penny bridge have 2 Toshiba models (one with HD, one without) and both have timeslip. I think the place is called Russell Hi-Fi?

I've seen a Grundig one in Curry's for 349. But I don't know much about the spec or if it has the functionality you are looking for.

I went to that site and ordered a pioneer dvr 220. It arrived this morning, but they have charged me £50 shipping. It says free shipping on the site and does not say that it is for uk only. also when they sent me through the confimation notice it had 0 under delivery charge. Did they charge you for delivery?
