Sharp is introducing four new HDD HD recorders (otherwise known as HD PVR’s). These things turn on real quick-like, in about a second. They contain HD and SD tuners, and can record from both at the same time. Most of the models include HDMI outputs and FireWire inputs and outputs.

But you know, with all this new-fangled technology, these things still can’t record from cable or satellite. So they won’t be good for the vast majority of HDTV owners out there. Solution looking for a problem? I think so.
