HD STB + recorder?
I have seen there are some SD set top boxes with built in recorders. Does anyone know if there are any HD set top boxes with built in recorders? I have a HD ready TV would like a HD STB and also a digital recorder to replace my aging VCR.
Cheers, Wizza

Additonal....
Further to my question......
I noticed these Motorola units. Are these HD set top boxes and PVR's? Are there any regional differences / issues with product from the US / Europe, etc? Are the specs for Aust the same? Motorola DCT5200 & DCT6000 models http://broadband.motorola.com/catalo...ata_060403.pdf http://broadband.motorola.com/catalo...?ProductID=358 http://broadband.motorola.com/catalo...&productID=178

Overseas ones will not work because Australia has 7Mhz channel spacing which differs from 6/8MHz in other countries. First likely contender for a HD PVR box for Australia is www.topfield-australia.com.au Keep an eye on http://www.dtvforum.info/ as well, in case someone else comes up with one sooner.

I should add that in the case of the US, they use ATSC for digital TV, whereas Australia uses the European DVB-T standard... the channel bandwidth spacing issue comes secondary to that.
