JVC DRMH20S



www.svp.co.uk have the Liteon 160GB HDD for £329.99 inc VAT and
delivery.

Hear not so good things about Liteon. Don't know about this particular
model though.

You'd wet yourself if I were to tell you what I paid a year or so back
for a Panasonic with a 40gB disk... :-(

A real example of someone's law; now is it Moore or Sod?

Will it take a larger disc ? Then at least you're up to date :-)

Ha, therein lies a tale. Thought to myself, "that 120Gb disk is £50,
I'll stick that in and treble the recording time, if it doesn't work,
the 40Gb can go back in, a few progs still on the disk. They'll still
be there." In goes the new disk, no probs, screen message pops up
saying "do you want to format?" Yea, ok, why not?" And it works too,
but no increase in recording time. Bggr. Oh well, old disk back in
then... "Do you want to format?" Bggr, Bggr! Not realy; Do I have a
choice? No! Bggr, Bggr! Several series parts 1-N lost and a new disk
for my spares box.
Might work if Panasonic release a firmware upgrade, but I'm not holding
my breath.

I think I've read about this somewhere before, most manufacturers
limit the recording time in the firmware so you can't upgrade the
disk, you have to buy their new version of the same product with a
larger disk and some different buttons on the front for double the
price.

Yeah, the Liteon DVD recorder (not HDD) I bought had to go straight
back to the shop. So did the replacement (different brand). I ended up
with a Philips which is fine.

Thought about that at the time. Tried it too, but the PC didn't
recognise the data, but it did see the disk. I accept that there may be
something I missed. Even if I had done a basic copy, I think I still
wouldn't have been able to get it back into the Pana without
reformatting. Maybe I could, but I'm not going there again!
