Eurovox Max-V 2008 HD DVD RECORDER with 80Gb Hard drive

See _www.iwantabox.com

Do we know if this can take a bigger hard drive? 'Up to 111 hours' on an 80GB disk sounds a little dubious to me unless it records to MPEG4 or severly reduces the quality and records to MPEG2. For £199 it's very tempting though.

The wording of the ad appears to be misleading i take it its a eurovox max-v plus an additional hdd-dvd pvr you got (2 seperate parts as picture) dont confuse this very good offer with the eurovox pvr due to be released in the not too distant future.

That's how I read it - a MAX V and a separate HDD OR DVD recorder, note the OR in their description.

yep would be good if lucky13 would clarify exactly what he received.

Sorry guyz - have to eat my words.

Got waaaayyyyy overexcited the other day - I blame the coffee

gadgetfiend · 28-02-08, 11:52 AM

so what exactly did you receive then m8 ?

lincsat · 28-02-08, 05:40 PM

Was the PVR anything like this one - Build your own PVR - Under £10 + HDD

lucky13 · 29-02-08, 10:55 PM

Thankfully I hesitated before plunging into buying one.

Read the replies from you guyz and didn't fork out.

Owe yez one
