As Kevin has reported on his LiveJournal, our home entertainment system has died, probably with a defunct power supply. Getting it repaired is likely to cost more than buying a new system, so I’ve started looking around.

Wandering through Comet this morning if found quite a lot of systems advertising recording from camcorders and even direct recording to DVD from TV. But I’ll be buying the system in the US, and Circuit City has hardly anything available with those features. It does have some, so I guess it can’t be a legal issue.

Other features I’m looking at are second-room-wireless support so that I don’t need a separate sound system for the office, and an input for my MP3 player.

Recommendations appreciated.
