Loewe's DVR TV
German company Loewe has decided to do away with standalone digital video recorders entirely and build an 80GB hard drive right into their sleek LCD televisions. They claim 28 to 100 hours of recording, depending on which quality setting you select. They come in 32- and 37-inch widescreen versions costing £4950 to £5950 (about $9,000 to $10,000), with one questionable feature included which is probably jacking up the price, a motorized stand which allows you to rotate the TV with the remote. Is it worth the extra cost? Sure it sounds good on paper, but it's not like anyone moves their TV screen as often as they change channels. After all, we still need some exercise in our lives besides walking to and from the refrigerator.
