High Defination Setop Recorders. Need some recomendations.

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I have had good results with an LG Electronics LST-3410A. Check
avsforum.com for many posts on this unit. Some folks have had problems. It
does have Firewire output for communicating with d-vhs vcrs; some people
have had luck connecting with their computer.

I don't think the LG will work for him in Australia. I think they use
DVB-T (correct me if I'm wrong). The LG does ATSC and clear QAM. And
I doubt the Gemstar guide would work there, although you could still
record by channel and time. If you can even get a time signal that
the LG can recognize. Otherwise it's an excellent choice if you can
get one that works.
