But DVD recorders for the computer are around $75 (or less) for dual
layer capable drives. Throw in a Plextor USB video input/capture and
OR a video card with TV in and you have the equivalent of that Sony,
PLUS the ability to backup your computer to DVD or CD, make backup
copies of DVD movies, etc.

I'm leaning toward a sony DVD burner, good reviews so far and it's
simple to use. Froogle "Sony DVDirect DVD Recorder VRDVC10", They are
~$260. It's also small enough to take to the shop with a little TV and
watch all the shows you record.
