Default Which HDD DVD Player?

Hi guys, X-Mass is round the corner and I'm deciding which player to buy for my parents. it has to be a HDD recorder, so my mum can record all those Dallas, Esmeralda and this kind of sh*t... and for me to plug my iPod so I can watch all those car vids, so the video input could be a advantage

any idea or a good advice for whichone to chose?

price up to 240GBP

Thanx!!!

i say if you have a xbox 360 the get the HD player for it and you can buy some movies off xbox live. but you can't record :bah: just the normal xbox CD drive out shines and DVD player i have seen yet.

My dad just bought himself a Sony HDD, really easy to use and everything, easy menu and so on. Philips is nice too but a bit pricey :roll:

I'm actually thinking about SONY RDR-HX 720, which looks best to me and it's the top price I'm willing to pay

I think you have an HDD confused with HD-DVD

either way...Panasonic, Poneer, Sanmsung all get better reviews from users than Sony...(main concern is that its overpriced)...
