Home technology has never been moving so fast.
Buying a new TV - should it be Plasma or LCD? Should it be HDTV ready - and if so 1080i, 1080p or 720p? Which next generation DVD Recorder will become the standard Blue Ray or HD-DVD?
HDTV stands for High Definition Television and is a new standard that is evolving to replace the OLD PAL, NTSC or SECAM standards. All HDTV sets are widescreen, and if they have a tuner it will be digital as HDTV is only available on digital broadcasts (currnetly in the UK this is restricted to the Sky HD service).
OK so we all agree that VHS tapes are dead - but what should you buy instead? Should you go for a DVD recorder - if so should you be looking at one of the new High Definition drives (HD DVD or Blu Ray)? Or should you go for a PVR (Personal Video Recorder or Hard Disk Recorder)? WHat about the new combination recorders with both a hard disk and a DVD Recorder?
