I don't know about it being propaganda, more like a bias. That's why you do your research to get the one that suits your needs the best. But anyway, I won't buy one until the prices come down mostly for media. PC based recorders aren't so bad but the media, in Canada anyway, is still too high for my home use. I'd consider the stand-alone DVD recorder, but that is too costly. However, the PVR/DVD recorder combo is very tempting, but it will have to wait also.
