Hello everyone - I wonder if you could give me the benefit of your experience and help me choose a new PVR.
I currently have a 9300T (approx. 4-5 years old?) but it has been playing up for some time now - mainly when recording programmes. If the programme begins late it picks up on this and adjusts the start time accordingly but it does not adjust the end time so I am constantly missing the end of programmes. Also I get the juddering on playback which was a common fault many years ago, as I remember, and was fixed by doing a manual retune but for the last few months it has been regularly doing it again. I have retuned several times but to no avail. Both of these issues are driving me to distraction.
I am undecided between the HDR 2000T and the DTR T2100. I am leaning towards the HDR2000 because so far the reviews I have read seem to imply it's slightly better??
As well as watching live tv I do a lot of recording so really need it to be reliable and accurate - are either of these models better/worse than the other in this respect.
Apart from your overall opinion I would also be grateful for some technical help. I have a rather old Sony Plasma TV (not HD obviously) which is still going strong and has fantastic picture and sound quality so I am not intending to replace it in the near future. Unfortunately it does not have an HDMI socket so I would need to connect it to the pvr via the scart socket. From what I have read both of these models have one scart socket but is there any likelihood that the functionality would be affected by using this method.
I know the DTR T2100 has better catch up services but I don't really use this much so it wouldn't sway me either way.
I have also looked at Panasonic and Samsung models as a possible alternative but neither of these have a scart socket.
Anyway, I would be pleased to receive any comments you would like to give.
Many thanks
