    I need advice and recommendations please.

    I need to a machine that does the following:

    plays dvds
    plays videos
    records from the tv in some format

    I realise I could get 3 separate machines for this and that there are some that do 2 of the above. Is there one that does all 3? I already have a video recorder but would favour buying something newer (so that it will last longer).

    Thanks in advance,

    By videos do you mean XviD in AVI's ?

    If so then this LG unit fits the bill (specs on DivX Compare)
    Plays DVDs & upscales on HDTV.
    Plays XviD/DivX.
    Records to internal hard drive in either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 ASP (XviD). Recordings can be copied from the HD to DVD.

    No, I mean old fashioned VHS which I do not plan to replace on DVD.

    only draw back is no analogue tuner, so you will need to record from NTL Digital/ Sky etc..
