Hi Steve -

I understand that the EPG on-screen make recording non-accessible, but if you 
know when a programme is scheduled, can't you learn the steps using the remote, 
that will select the day, channel, and start and end times? I could do that 
with the Toshiba I briefly looked at.

Does the machine you bought record the AD track then with tV programmes? I 
think most AD tracks are added to TV programmes, not part of the original sound 
mix? -

  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
