New Sony PVR/DVR and DVD Recorder

Posted by Hemos on from the busting-on-through dept.

i4u writes "Sony announces in Japan a new digital recorder NDR-XR1 equipped with the 80GB hard drive and a DVD recorder. The unit features a broadband connection to retrieve a programming guide. The system can record up to 90 hours of programming on the 80GB Hard drive. Recorded shows can be directly burned on DVDs with the built-in DVD writer. This is the dream machine! Wonder if it will be available on the US market, This baby is poised to 'piss-off' Hollywood. This would be a nice alternative to the ReplayTV box. The Digital Recorder NDR-XR1 will go on sale April 12th in Japan."

  2. 90 hours my ass... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    That 90 hours is at ultra-low quility. I'm talking grainy 320x240. 4th generation video tape quality, TV picture so bad you change the channel quality.

    For the picture you're used to on live TV, you're looking at 20-30 hours.
