Shinco crams a PVR (but no hard drive) into a TV

Shinco PVR TV
Shinco has come up with a unique way to add personal video recording functions to an LCD TV without driving up the cost. Leave out the hard drive.

The 32-inch TV has a USB port and ships with a 2.5-inch USB hard drive enclosure. Of course, you can plug your own 3.5-inch case, a flash card reader, or pretty much any other form of USB storage you like into the TV.

The TV includes a single tuner, so you'll only be able to record one program at a time. And you can't watch one live show while recording another. But it does included an MPEG-4 decoder, so you can watch prerecorded shows while making new recordings.

The TV is available for HK$6280, which is about 805 US dollars. But it's not clear that we'll be seeing this model in the US any time soon.
