Bad Choice
- Pros: The flexibility of going to hard drive or disk is nice.
- Cons: Truly an awful product. I've used a number of different DVD recorders from various manufacturers, and never seen one as slow to finalize as this. Unreliable - fails to read discs, only a few weeks after the limited warranty ended.
- Other Thoughts: Look elsewhere.
Doesn't work with digital cable
- Pros: Good for non-digital cable or over-the-air cable reception I suppose.
- Cons: Despite all the "digtal tv" jargon used throughout the copy, it does *not* work completely with a digital cable tuner. You can't schedule recordings, and the video image gets scrunched to a smaller view on your screen (smaller than it would be normally, without the unit in place) While you can watch tv, pause live tv etc, the image is less than full sized (regarless of aspect settings) and you can record something if you are sitting there watching it at that moment and hit record, this oversite in functionality is pretty serious.
- Other Thoughts: will be returning this unit.
Pretty Darn Good
- Pros: Makes good quality recordings to hard disk. Easy to use. Receives both analog and digital signals. Great free program guide.
- Cons: Remote is not funtionally designed -- easy enough to use but with tiny buttons and even tinier lettering that make non-standard operations difficult. No ability to label your programmed recordings -- the machine titles tracks based on date/time/channel -- you need to guess what the program is. The recorder doesn't have an overwrite mode, so somthing you record daily (e.g. the news) takes up hard drive space and forces frequent deletions. Has a tendency to drop some HD channels and just record blackness.
- Other Thoughts: This is my second DVR, replacing a non DTV Panasonic model. Very few recorders with hard disks anymore. This is an excellent choice for converting to DTV.
