Which HDD Recorder?

First topic message reminder :

I've been cruising the usual shops looking for a Hard Disk Recorder for about 12 months.
They don't seem to have come down in price unlike TV's despite the dollar rising.
Now that the analogue signal is to be switched off here soon I thought I'd go for a package and get a TV for the daughters room and HDD Recorder.
The recorder is for the lounge to accompany the Panasonic Plasma (thats now about a third of the price 3 yrs ago lol)
So given it looks like I'm up for close to $600 for the recorder only I'm not sure what brand to get.
Requirements are Twin Tuners and 500gb.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Can i program it to tape different channels at different times?

Yes but only 1 Ch at a time though. That's the only down side but for $80 for a huge hdd and whatever you pay for playtv its pretty good.

What's playtv?

Its the tuner box that connects to the PS3 will take a pic of my setup if you like
