If so, and you know at least basic of DVD authoring then why to buy SA recorder?

I use the DVD recorder like a VCR, the one I have now only records on disc, so if I want to record two consecutive programs I would have to do it in poor quality.

With a hard drive recorder you can record up to 20 hours in excellent quality, and then burn to disc what you want to keep.

I don't have HD service, just an LCD TV. I think the Panasonic recorders are upconverting also?
