In the metaverse of bloody obvious inventions that never were, I’d like to introduce a Freeview box that can record to a SD Card. Actually such a beast does not exist and it is a real pity. Only for me though.
I’m looking for a worthy replacement to my computer which I am using to record series and movies which I then transfer to my faithful Toshiba E400 PDA player, which accompanies me during my solitary commutes. Saves me time and having to stare at my shoes.
I’ve been toying with the idea of purchasing this Panasonic DMREZ25 Multi format, Freeview upscaling Recorder which costs £114 on Ebay delivered. It is a DVD recorder which can record up to 17 hours on one DVD disc.
But then, I don’t want to lose time in copying the disc on my computer and then copying it up on my PDA. Utter loss of time.
On the other hand, The SanDisk V-Mate Video Memory Card Recorder might be that special beast I am after. At just under £35 it connects to any analog video source and sucks the content directly to a memory card in glorious MP4 format. However, after close inspection , it seems that it won’t be useful for me at all.
Which brings me back to my initial starting point. Where can I find a freeview box that can record straight to a memory card. With the growing number of card based players, there’s bound to be a manufacturer which comes up with such a product.
Think about it, who wouldn’t like to watch Eastenders’ omnibus on its 3-inch smartphone? Hey! That’s something I’ve been looking for for the best part of 24 months.
