We have a ~ 3 yr old LG DVD recorder/hard drive, which has become progressively more and more selective about which discs it will play, and which it ejects in disgust.

I _have_ attempted to clean it with a cleaning disc, ironically it now ejects the cleaning DVD in disgust.

I've gone out and bought a Sony replacement for ~£190 (actually was hankering for multiregion playback which the LG didn't have).

In hindsight would it have even been worth trying to get the LG repaired? It has quite a library of movies on the HDD which would be reason enough to hook it to another TV.

Does the hard drive bit work?
If so can it not be used as a PVR and just ignore the DVD bit?
