I was wondering what 'boxes' people are now using to record tv/foxtel/dvds
etc ?

in the past my relatives used vcr's to record tv and fox show's
and also vcr's to record rental dvds, so they could watch them later .(but
with lesser quality)

what are people using now ?
dvd recorder set top boxes ?
are hard drive based units ?

what is easy to use ?
as some relatives are looking to upgrade from vcr's-so it should be easy to
use...

I just tend to rent or buy dvds, and don't really bother to copy off tv
so i'm not sure what to recommend to them

This may be a ridiculous question, but would it ever be possible to
timeshift with 2 HDD's rather than the regular 1 DVD and 1 HDD?

Sure but the question I would ask is, why ?

No reason other than to satisfy my curiosity.

I know, I have done it once as a work around but it's a PITA. I have been
trying to talk the missus into cancelling PAY-TV basically after we had it
installed years ago :) my constant whining must have gotten to her, she
said will probably cancel the subscription. So I am waiting to turn that
into a "yes, we will cancel it" in th enext month or two and I will let
AUSTRA know the main reason is the inability to change channels from the
online guide and to call me if they ever decide to add it as a feature.
