I had a JVC combo with twin tuner. You could record two separate channels
at the same time with this. I believe JVC is the only brand to do this.
there is even a combo model with a hard drive if you want to pay more.
overall, I loved it. it was easy to use and provided some great features.
one of my favorite things was the ability to record to and to read dvdr,
dvdram and dvdrw. hard to find that feature elsewhere. I ended up
returning it due to a timer record malfunction. I would have gotten the
same one but the store was out and I didn't want to wait. I ended up
getting a new Sony vcr and a panasonic recorder. not a combo but its ok.
takes up more space though, which does suck a lot. the benefit is that if
one breaks, I just replace one. good luck with whatever you choose. save
receipts, boxes and paperwork so you can take it back if you don't like.
