Panasonic DMR BS750 - Panasonic Blu-ray Players
Here it is, one of a new generation, and Panasonic very rarely mess things up, so this model may set a standard (for a little while at least). Fairly soon recorders will be outselling the players, but we are in the early stages of the game, and as history has shown us, the earlier models do go through a disproportionately large development process which means that they are often better than the models that follow them (this is due to production rates).
Even on the question of functionality, this model is further up the road that you would expect for such a trailblazer. Just a great recording system that emulated the quality of a Blu-ray movie would have been enough, but they have gone a step further. With the twin satellite tuner you are able to record two different TV programs simultaneously. It can also record in full HD quality - and this is slowly hitting our TV screens so you're already prepared with this model. Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus surround sound signal embedded in HD broadcasts can also be recorded, so you are getting the best of sound quality to compliment you viewing as well.
Subtitle and audio description data that is included with some digital broadcasts can also be recorded, so you are getting the full monty here, and if you are going to buy a recorder, then this is probably a great star. Get one before they start rolling out the cheaper lower quality versions for the mass market.

Panasonic DMR BS750 - Review
So far I'm impressed with this box. The Freesat+ (series link) function works well, if you select a program from the guide that is also available in HD it asks if you want to record the HD version. You can record two channels while watching a disc. You can copy from the internal hard drive to blu-ray or DVD with ease. If you're copying to blu-ray it is very fast. There is also the ability to record at a lower quality, i.e. re-encode the video. This is done in "real-time" so it takes a while. There do seem to be, what I think, are omissions. There doesn't seem to be the option to copy video from the hard drive to a USB stick or SD card. Setting the unit up was very easy and quick. Video quality seems excellent, though I've only used the HDMI connection, so can't comment on the other outputs (SACRT, component and S-Video). Start-up of blu-ray discs isn't that fast, but I'd say it's on a par with other blu-ray players I've seen. What is slow, is the length of time it takes to power on, and response to the remote is a little slugish.
The only down sides to this unit are the slightly confusing array of recording modes (they are: DR, HG, HX, HE, HL, XP, SP, LP, EP, FR) and the disc types supported for recording (they are: BD-RE, BD-R, BD-RE DL, BD-R DL, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW) and the combinations of allowed recording modes and disc types. It is worth mentioning that the HD transmissions from ITV and BBC are copy protected. Depending on what has been encoded, it may be possible to only copy a recording from HD to disc once, or not at all in HD quality. Copies in SD seem to not be limited. This is quite an expensive unit, but considering how many other boxes to does away with, I think it's worth it. By james19635
