The Digital Video Recorder is integrated into the HD ready plasma TV with 80GB of hard disc storage, which should be enough for around 40 hours programming. It also has continuous automatic recording in 1-hour intervals, so you can (for example) watch a film 5 minutes behind the original broadcast or enjoy England's World Cup winning goal over and over again."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/lg42.jpg" /> <br /><br />Having a DVR built into the TV is great, but what about CableCard support (for digital cable compatibility)? Or how about a built-in HD tuner (or two) with HD DVR capabilities? This seems like a good idea whose time has passed. Not to mention that I wouldn't want to have to replace my DVR every time I replace my TV or vice versa. Keep trying, LG.
