do they sell a High def or HD DVD recorder?

HD-DVD is a dead format, all things considered.

Blu-Ray is the winning optical HD media disc format.

Currently there are no Blu-Ray recorders outside of Japan.

In the US, they might be a while coming, if at all. You see, around 15% of TV viewers use OTA, and not a whole lot more use it with a pay service. Most people subscribe to a pay TV service, which such recorders will likely not be compatible with, or the providers will do what they can to limit their use.

I couldn't find one but Toshiba is almost rdy to release thiers, you can check it out here http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/tags/show/Toshiba its actually kinda cool, gonna be able to record blue ray it seems : )
