Freeview Crap.
I managed to get the Ozzy manual for the DMR-XW380, it seems that we are being stuffed here, because of some so called Freeview laws here, More like TV broadcaster laws, we cant skip Adds But the Ozzy model can. The Ozzy model has very similar Freeview and the same EPG Guide MHEG 5 but they don't have the limitations of skipping adds, the remote has a 30sec skip and a 1-10 min steps buttons the NZ model only has a 10min skip button. And not dominated what the TV companies want, I think it was stated some time back that skipping adds was illegal..? |

This is a classic example of what happens when a business makes the rules, take a look at the TIVO in NZ, no commercial skip (TVNZ's input on this one here) But as there is the ability to transfer content off the Tivo to other devices freeview have decided that they won't give it the tick of approval. |

Let me see if I get this straight: * Buy a licensed Freeview decoding device — OK. * Connect it to an HDD-DVD video recorder which can fast-forward and skip in whatever increments I like — OK. But * Buy an HDD-DVD video recorder with in-built Freeview decoding, which can fast-forward and skip in whatever increments I like — NOT OK? |

But can you record 2 SD channels at the same time..? |

No the skip feature of 30sec , 1 min and 10 min's intervals totally removes the video the fast-forwards does not. |

The Other thing that I am reading is when using 2 Tuners one must be Reordered in DR mode, is this correct as I cant find any reference in the Dnloaded manual. Is it not possible to record 2 SD channels at the same time, but you can record 2 in DR mode.. Thanks |
