DVR-DVD Recorder - Single Unit?

Question

I'm looking for a Digital Video Recorder on which I can burn my own DVDs. I want to be able to do this without having to transfer files to my computer. It should be one self-contained unit. It should not require an additional subscription fee for TiVo or any other DVR service.

So basically, what I'm looking for is a DVR that acts like a VHS recorder so I can keep DVD copies of the stuff I enjoy watching.

Does such an animal exist?

Answer 1

Short answer, YES, the HDD/DVD recorder.

Links, sections at Argos (UK) and Newegg (US), no particular recommendation for either.
