Right now they are working on HD DVD's, the problem is they are huge. It's called Blue Laser and apparently it has 3 to 4 layers where as the DVD players today have 2 layers. High def is typically 1080i where as DVD's are 480p or 480i.
The best way to record is with a Personal Video Recorder (PVR). I have one that claims it holds up to 90 hours of HD although it's more like 1/2 that. These are much better than DVD recroders not just because they record in HD but because they are tied into the programming system.
That's my 2 cents!!

Can you tell me what kind of PVR you're using and who is your signal provider? I've not seen a HD PVR device in Alberta yet.
Thanks

That's intersetcing. I have HDTV thru Bell Express Vu. They said I could not use the PVR and HDTV at the same time (they said PVR doesn't show programs in HD. Therefore, I pruchased the HDTV receiver but not the PVR. Does anyone know about this?

Tom, in Alberta, Shaw Cable sells a dual-tuner HD PVR. Can't remember HDD size. Check on it's availability in your area.
As for Bell ExpressVu, they keep promising their retail partners that their HD-PVR will be out in three months. They re-affirm this promise every three months... Currently they are promising us one by Summer 2005. promised the same thing for Summer '04 too...

Go with Digital Cable... Cogeco's DCT6412 has been great to us. Although I am still awaiting the dual tuner functionality to kick in... http://broadband.motorola.com/dvr/dct6412.asp

I have the Bell ExpressVu 9200 PVR - dual tuners allow me to watch one HD chanel and record another HD chanel. 25 hours of HD recording capacity, and 100+ hours SD content. Works GREAT!
