Sharp’s new Aquos players mash Blu-ray and 1TB DVR together in unhappy marriage

Filed under: ,

The popular DVR / DVD combo trend continues with Sharp’s new, just-released Aquos players. The three new combo machines — updates from last fall’s models — pack Blu-Ray playback with DVRs of various sizes ranging from the 250GB BD-HD−, to the 500GB BD-HD∕, to the 1TB BD-HD√ big daddy of TV-recording doom. The Blu-Ray section looks pretty standard, but the DVR records in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 at three different bitrates - 4.8, 8, and 12Mbps. If you’re thinking these will record from BD to HDD or the other way around, think again. The movie studios will have none of that.
