Hi Paul we've got a panasonic as well as a Samsung hard disc recorder. for those who want to know, and are sighted, the panasonic is the better choice, but anyone without sighted help would be hard put to use either machine. however, if you record a programme from your analogue aerial, the recordings are automatically reviewed when the item is highlighted in the programme list. you then just press enter on the remote control and that recording will play. if you want to record programmes like this I'd recommend using digiTV on your computer. however, it's not like recording and playing back on your TV in the lounge. so that's your choice - completely accessible recordings on your computer, or almost totally inaccessible recordings and playback on your TV in the lounge with a hard disk recorder. regards steve green ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
