Their RD-X5 packs a HDD of 500Gb. But Toshiba thought they’d top that and created this new monster, the RD-Z1. It’s the first 100% HDMI compatible DVD &amp; HDD recorder (previously it was Digital 4 compatible), 600Gb of HDD space, 24Mbps VBR, Possibility to record two shows and watch a DVD at the same time, 2 satellite tuners (BS et Skyperfect), Analogue/Digital convertor, Seperate chassis for the HDD and DVD to prevent vibrations, 8x DVD-R and 5x RAM burner."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/PVRHDMIJapan.jpg" /><br /><br />This Toshiba recorder with a 600 GB harddrive and DVD burner sounds to me like a monster! I wonder how many <b>years</b> of TV shows one can record on this DVD-HDD combo. :lol:

I hear my old VCR squealing in fear at the moment. This device is just a beast! 8O
