A TV that can record over LAN isn’t something that we’ve seen before, and would be a neat little home entertainment feature. As part of today’s announcement. Toshiba’s also rolling out its first Regza-branded HDD (for said recording, and sold separately). The Z1 series also features video-on-demand support, 10Wx2 speakers, Regza Link, 4HDMI interfaces and an SD/SDHC slot. The pricing will range from $US2700 to $US5200 when they’re released this winter in Japan. The rest of us will just have to be patient. [Toshiba (translated) via CrunchGear]

win!
I’m still deciding between a tv tuner in my file server and play tv for my PS3 for this exact reason!

Friday, April 16, 2010 at 8:49 AMAm I missing something in the Japanese release? Can’t see any mention of recording across the LAN – it says it plays back from LAN, and records to USB-connected drives. The new Samsung Series 7 TVs do that, not that they made much of the record facilities at the launch.
