Why do Sony not sell a TV recorder any more? Panasonic have a good range as do other manufacturers, but nothing from Sony....
Hi @ccarmock
It possibly has something to do with being able to record
straight to an HDD attached to a Bravia.
Is it able to record a different channel to the one currently being watched?
Great question @ccarmock
I am afraid Sony in the West have gone down the route of "no stand alone recorders available". If you lived in Japan you could quite easily order a Blu-ray Recorder with a seperate hard drive with twin tuners etc.etc.
I do not understand this and I often have a gripe about it !
I have gone Panasonic for my recording needs which gives all the flexibility that you require from a quality stand alone unit. IMO I think attaching a hard drive to a USB port and controlling it via the TV remote is a poor substitute.

Great shame they don't make them available here. They used to have good devices available here at one time, though I think many were re-badged Pioneer machines.
I too have been lookign at Panasonic instead of Sony. In fact I am wondering if I should move away from Sony completely in favour of Panasonic.
