Hi Master,

I've been looking into the same thing.

Panasonic do DVD/VHS recorders with large hard drives.

Though if you have a DVD burner on your PC then just buy a dazzlebox from somewhere like Argos for about £30 and you can plug your VHS recorder straight into your PC and then record and burn the VHS tapes to DVD.
Quite a few experienced uploaders use the dazzlebox.

Hope that helps

Rob
