Here's the usual question, but I'm looking for an updated answer!
I want to get a DVD player/recorder within the week and have seen several offers. I can't spend much more than E300 so thought that meant that HD was ruled out until I saw this on piximania:

MUSTEK R580 DVD player recorder with hard drive E320
Get the most out of your favourite television programmes and DVD's with the Mustek R580. Use the 80 GB hard drive to stock hours of programmes, to be burned onto DVD's at your leisure. You can choose between 5 different recording standards to allow you to store between 1 and 6 hours of recordings per disc. The FireWire connection will allow you to copie your digital camcorder recordings onto DVD+R/RW and S-video and audio/video connections for maximum flexibility. The R580 will thrill you with the quality of its recordings and prove to be a great replacement for your video recorder!
Has anyone any views about this make (I've never heard of Mustek)? Also I've seen piximania recommended on this chat site but does anyone have any experience of how they are if there's something wrong with the equipment?
They also have a Mustek player/recorder for E173.
Other possibilities are simple player/recorder at did electrical:
