hi guys,

I have recently purchased a new Full HD Philips 42inch LCD TV. And now my room mate wants to get something to record racing as well as anythign else on tv. now he only wants to really spend $200 to $300.

I assume a recorders plug from Antenna to Recorder to TV.

Now my problem is if he gets a cheap recorder will this effect my LCD tv reception? or shouldn't it matter, can anyone think of any other problems it might face.
Personally i dont need a recorder and i have no problem with him getting a cheap one and using it as long as it doesn't effect the tv.

Also if cheap is alright what are some good cheap ones to look at

thanks
