Slightly off topic and of interest to UK dwellers only but I'm seriously considering the new Panasonic DMR BS850 as a second BR player. I need a Freesat PVR and one with a BR burner it it does have its attactions. One thing I wasn't aware of until recently is that the BBC is apparently going to allow a single BR copy to be made of its broadcast HD material.
