Richard, If you're not a great TV adict and just want an occasional recording and have no big plans for DVD etc., you may for the moment want to get the Cobolt handset which speaks all entries and stores this information in the handset, sending it to the TV at the appropriate time. You have to line up the handset with the TV; something opposite over the other side of the room works well. The handset doesn't look good and is bulky but does the job for around £50, I think, though I don't know the exact price and could be a little out. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard Godfrey Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 10:07 PM To: Access-Uk@Freelists. Org Subject: [access-uk] VIDEO OR DVD? After 16 years or so, looks like the rewind motor on my talking Sharp video has gone. If videos are really on the way out, what do people think is the best option to replace it? I'm not a great tv addict, but want to be able to record stuff now and then.
