New tiny PVR records to flash memory

Evergreen PVREvergreen's new DN-MRC200T recorder is a full fledged PVR in a tiny package. While this is hardly the first device that records TV shows directly to flash storage (Memory Stick, SD, or MMC cards in this case), it is one of the few flash-based PVRs I've seen that packs a built-in TV tuner. That means you can slap an analog cable into the back of the unit and record programs whether the DN-MRC200T is plugged into a TV, cable box, or other device or not.

There's also room for a 2.5-inch hard drive if you want to record programs for watching at home, and not just on the go.

Evergreen plans to sell the DN-MRC200T for about ¥19,999 ($176). No word on if or when it will be available in the west.
