Advice On Which DVD recorder to buy

Site update - March 16th 2010

AfterDawn.com has been updated! In addition to renewing the layout of the site we have also speeded up things considerably. The new version has been tested on our Finnish site for several months, and during the testing we have managed to improve the new version even further.

You can now enjoy this new layout at English AfterDawn.com and English Discussion Forums as well! We have also introduced new sections to the site, and re-arranged things a bit.

I am new to the forum and am in the market to buy a DVd recorder. I have satellite with a PVR so do not need a DVD recorder with Hard drive. I also want to make sure the DVD recorder I buy does not copy protection because I want to convert VHS to DVD and also burn movies from the PVR to DVD. I have narrowed down the players to:
Pioneer DVR-220
Panasonic DMR-E55
Philips DVDR72(from Walmart).

I would appreciate any advice from others.

i have the panasonic dmr-E85H and it does have copy protection against rental or purchased vhs tapes. however, if your tapes are recorded from tv, then you wont have any problems with any recorder.

so i would think the panasonic dmr-e55 would have the same copy protection. i dont know about the other two.
