Combined Video + DVD Recorder - which one is best?

[osprey]

I am considering buying one of these as I have a huge collection of videos and my trusty video recorder has finally stopped working after 10 years of loyal and trouble-free service. There are so many on the market, I am looking for some help in deciding which one to buy. PLEASE HELP if you can.

I bought an LG combo unit for around �130 and it worked ok for just over a year and then it decided that when you put a DVD in the drive it would eject the disk.

It still works and is a good overall player but can be frustrating at times when you need to relax and watch a dvd and the darn thing ejects it.
