General comments: When I chose the JVC DRM-150S, I had recently been hunting for a DVD recorder for under £200 with Freeview and it is extremely difficult to make a decision especially as there isn't much to choose from. This DVD Recorder has not been reviewed any where but I decided to take a chance and it was well worth it. I looked around and managed to pick it up for just £175 including delivery. The best thing I like about it so far is you can just go into the programme guide and at the touch of a button setup a recording off your favourite program, it's as easy as with SKY+. I also enjoy the pausing of live TV although you can only do this with DVD-RAM, it's still brilliantly executed and works flawlessly allowing you to watch from wherever you left it while it still records. A host of connections also add to the impressive features and include the YPrPb connection which allows a superb picture, even through the scart and the thick cable provided it, produces a sound picture. It has loads of other features I haven't got around to trying yet but looking forward to giving them a go. Even with the lack of a second digital tuner for the price you can't complain and most people aren't bothered by it anyway. I'm not as I don't require it. I would highly recommended this DVD Recorder especially for the SUB £200 Categories with Freeview.
