T3 Gadget Mag page 9 October issue. "When too much TV is never enough, you need the LST-5402P from LG: a hard disk recorder with a whopping 250GB drive. Why so big, Grandma? All the better to record crystal clear pictures from its twin HDTV tuners with, my dear. You can fit 40 hours of high definition footage on there, or 80 of standard fare, and with the ability to record two channels at once, time shifting and picture in picture features, and a digital HDMI output, the LST5402P offers serious performance for the money. But if 15 large is ones is still too rich for you, there's also a 160GB version available for $200 less. RRP $1499 {250GB}" So why not here where they have no royalties to pay???
