The popular DVR / DVD combo trend continues with Sharp’s new, just-released Aquos players. The three new combo machines — updates from last fall’s models — pack Blu-Ray playback with DVRs of various sizes ranging from the 250GB BD-HDW22, to the 500GB BD-HDW25, to the 1TB BD-HDW30 big daddy of TV-recording doom.
