The funny thing is, with all the hoo-hah over the 'digital revolution' and what a great thing it is, the industry at large seems to have got away with the most obvious failing of all - the simple ability to watch one channel and record another, which we all got used to in the 80s and 90s as we all came to have our own video recorders.

TBH, all I want is a VCR with an integrated, digital tuner so I can record one thing and watch another. I'm still not entirely sure why this, presumably simplest of problems (take the analogue tuner out, put a digital one in?) seems beyond the wit of the Sonys and Panasonics of this world.
