You haven't looked at the Panasonic DMR-EZ48. Two versions exist: Region 1 locked, and region unlocked. We got ours from Circuit City a few months before the company went under. This place has the Region 1 locked versionhttp://www.wegotbetterdeals.com/panasonic-dmrez48vk-dvdvcr-player-recorder-with-free-
hdmi-cable-refurbished--p-1324.html
The Panasonic DMR-EZ48 is built with the Dreambox satellite tuner logic board which handles analog
NTSC, cable QAM, and digital
ATSC signals. It has a nice set of input/output solutions, DV, too. It has SDCard and USB connectors to access, and copy to DVD, pictures from your camera. The DMR-EZ48 also allows you play movies you buy and download through
DivX Video On Demand - it gives you a cryptkey to use when shopping for a download.
I'll do a full review on it, when I get a round tuit...
