"The Philips DVDR-985 will copy DVDs, VHS tapes, TV shows, VCDs, audio music CDs, and more onto DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. Then, it can be played back on DVD players and on your DVD-ROM [computer] drive.
With this DVD recorder, you can record using video-in (RCA), s-video, or firewire (lEEE1394) connections. It also has a built-in TV tuner for your convenience.
The most compatible of all recorders, the recorded discs (DVD+R and DVD+RW) can be played on more than 90% of all DVD players and on DVD-ROM computer drives. Also, with DVD+RW, you can erase the recorded disc and re-record onto it again for thousands of times.
There are four recording modes: DV quality (1hr ), DVD (2hr), S-Video (3hr), and VHS (4hr).
As an added feature, the DVDR-985 will also play play CD-R, CD-RW, SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD, and VCDs.
And like most stand-alone DVD recorders, the Philips DVDR-985 is as easy to use as a VCR."
Easy , just not as cheap as you would like to go, bout 700 bucks but i'm sure you can find a better deal as i spent only 4 seconds looking.
Actually I cant get both medione and @home but I can get @home and Knowlogy cable modem service, both are offered in my area (Augusta, Georgia a.k.a. "The a$$ end of the south.") along with DSL and DirectPC. How exactly does your friend double up his cable modems? Does he run a special program like those that can be run with 2 dial up modems? Does he use ethernet card teaming? I'm just not sure of exactly how to get it to work.
With all of the discussion of shotgunning multiple ethernet cards to increase bandwidth on a university LAN, I was wondering if something similar might be possible by combining the bandwidth of 2 cable modems each on a seperate service (ie one on @home the other on Media One or what not) and a dsl modem. Could a computer be setup as a proxy that would contain multiple ethernet cards for the incoming cable/dsl connections and pump all the data out of a 4th ethernet card to the rest of the network? Could this work? Any links to info or help would be appreciated.
