I agree with that... But when B&O release crap, they are right!

The Reader Comments on that engadget page are rather vitriolic and anti B&O. Perhaps we should redress the balance, even if one or two of the comments are valid!

It is funny how B&O calls it a "DVD 2" while the "HDR2" is written without a space...

Sure, DVD recorders with built-in hard drives aren't as captivating as they once were, but when you put Bang & Olufsen's sexy spin on it, we can't help but take notice. The DVD 2 not only plays back standard DVDs, but it also touts a built-in analog TV tuner to capture programming on either a writable DVD or on the 250GB HDD that's built right in. Additionally, it supports the Guide Plus+ EPG, includes a timer for scheduling recordings, and outputs imagery via HDMI. No word on pricing or availability just yet, but do click on for more drool-worthy shots.
