I've searched all over to little success for a 5.1/7.1 home cinema with blur ray recording.

The best I've I come up with (at this time) is a Panasonic bluray player/recorder with an AV Amp/Receiver (Onkyo or the likes). This should tie in with Sky and the built in Freeview or Freesat (depending on what model of Panny). I don't think it would be too much to integrate an PVR either?

The burn to disk is important for me so I can archive stuff. Either I'm crap at searching the web (possible) or no one has brought such a thing out.

Exactly.

Do you have this setup? If so what's it like?

Thanks.

Thanks Shrew, that is spot on as I am keen to match my Panny TV.

Any recommendations what 5.1 system would go well with this set up?

I am also trying to work out whether to buy

1. FreeviewHD Blu Ray Recorder and a separate 5.1 system

or

2. FreeviewHD HDD Recorder and a separate Blu Ray 5.1 system

Option 1 allows be to stick with Panasonic but will be more expensive mainly due to the fact that I will be doubling up on disc function.

Option 2 is cheaper but Panasonic don't do a HDD recorder without disc function.
