"When too much TV is never enough, you need the LST-5402P from LG: a hard disk recorder with a whopping 250GB drive. Why so big, Grandma? All the better to record crystal clear pictures from its twin HDTV tuners with, my dear. You can fit 40 hours of high definition footage on there, or 80 of standard fare, and with the ability to record two channels at once, time shifting and picture in picture features, and a digitil HDMI output, the LST5402P offers serious performance for the money. But if 15 large is ones is still too rich for you, there's also a 160GB version available for $200 less. RRP $1499 {250GB}"

Jus a saw this in this months T3 magazine, page 9, ....

if the world did not suck we would all fall off

Excellent, lets hope they work better that the toshi    and certainly a price deacrease would be great, but I don't see these getting below $900 - $1000 any time soon. They may drop though a fair bit over 6 months to a year.
