TrustedReviews have looked at the Panasonic DMR-EX77 HDD/DVD Recorder

Digital recorders with video upscaling are nothing new, but this hard-disk/DVD combi recorder from Panasonic is one of the first to offer 1080p upscaling, which is a real bonus if you’re fortunate enough to own a 1080p display. The beauty of upscaling recorders is that you can not only boost pre-recorded DVDs to full hi-def resolution, but also your TV recordings.
