Searching for a replacement for a dead VCR, I started by considering
DVDR's but soon discovered that the best models were with hard disk.
Now, I really don't need the ability to burn DVD's, I would just
record, watch and erase...so maybe I should only get HD recorders.
Simple VCR replacement with tape substituted by HD.

1. Are such models made? What are they called?

2. Do I have to careful to ensure that it will record from current
analog tv, and then hdtv in 16x9 format?

3. Finally, if I must get dvdr with hd, will my machine come with a
region code? Does that apply only to playback or will the dvd's I make
will have a region code that came with the machine?
