I use my archos 705 for travelling and a sony dvd hard drive recorder for static use i.e pause live tv and a wd media player with a 1 tb hard drive for d/l ripped dvds /movies etc googling media recorder comes up with lots of choices. depends what you want to do?? and how much cash is going to leak through your fingers
