Sony KV28HX15U Widescreen TV for £229.99 in John Lewis with a 5yr warranty. Agree that Philips dropped the ball big time with their reliability problems on the DVDr880 and 890. The later generation stuff was and continues to be fine. I have a Philips DVDR520H (80Gb HDD) which works well once you learn your way around the menus. Pioneer gets my vote for the most intuitive DVDRs. The latest generation recorders have very good help menus and step-by-step guides. Regards
