Hi Andy

I know that the latest panasonic dvd/hd recorders have AD as I bought one 
before Christmas.

However, they are not accessible.

I would check with panasonic themselves as to which models will record AD. I 
would guess that the AD would be mixed with the normal soundtrack, not on a 
seperate track like commercial DVD's. You may be able to get a demo at your 
local department store or similar, which would give you information as to the 
accessibility, but since recordings are programmed via a electronic program 
guide, I'm pretty sure that it will be inaccessible.

Also the facilities on the panasonic recorders is not good - for example, it 
can only record one program at a time unlike most freeview + machines.

  Hi all -

  Is it common these days for DVD recorders to have Freeview builtin? If so, is 
it likely that if I go for a Sony or Panasonic model, to have AD too.

  Thanks for any help -

  Andy
