I'm so indecisive

It's not entirely your fault I still say the right products are not out there yet. Here is what I'm hoping will come along someday:

-Start with a regular, nice, high-end DVD player
-add a record button
-add some special recording features, create an intuitive way to time record things (for people who have difficulty with that)
-add a hard drive
-add editing features for video stored on the hard drive so you can remove commercials, extra film, etc.
-add a firewire port (I don't care now, but if I ever got a DV cam, I would

That's all. Everything. No TV tuner, no VCR Plus. I would think this would have been the first product to get made, instead of something with a TV tuner in it. I would have thought it would have been easier and cheaper without it.

Oh, and I would prefer DVD+R/W. So, anybody have connections with the big electronics manufacturers?
