The menus on my custom DVD's are extremely primitive but I really couldn't care less about that, it's the material on the DVD's that I'm more concerned about.
Mine is a Daewoo DVD recorder and it was around £130. DVD Recorders with hard drives are slightly more expensive but I highly recommend you get one with.

The HDD/DVD Recorder sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. I see a LG one in a flyer for $399 (Canadian) It has a 250GB harddrive and DVD Recorder with 1080i Up-Conversion. (not sure what Up-Conversion is)
So with the harddrive you can tape over shows you don't want anymore, right? Do they show up with filenames like on a computer?
How do the chapters work exactly. One per show?
And what about DVD discs. Which ones are the best? Do certain ones work with certain machines? How much (time) will one hold?
