Pretty Impressive
| I have been interested in owning a DVR for some time. This machine is great! The TV Guide function works perfectly. Reading the manuel is a little scary because you wonder if you will ever be able to figure out how to make the thing work but in reality it's really pretty easy . . . after working the remote for a bit. The fan noise is no big deal, actually it's pretty quite. I love this machine. It could only be better if it had two tuners to record two shows at the same time but I'm sure that soon enough the future models will. |

So noisy we returned it the first day
| The unit emits a constant humming sound. Other revewiers describe it as a fan noise, which it may well be, but it sort of sounds like the refrigerator when the compressor kicks on, only not quite as loud. It makes the sound even when the unit is turned off (as long as it is plugged in). It might not be so bad if it only made the noise when it was in use, because the TV sound mostly masks it at moderate volume. But it is still very audible when watching TV at low volume or when flipping between channels. Most importantly, when the TV is off, it is terribly annoying. We decided after less than an hour to box the unit up and return it. If you like to read or sleep or relax in the same room as your TV, this unit is probably not for you. |

Good value, great video quality, difficult to maneuver
I researched different DVR units with DVD recording capabilities for a long time (it was getting ridiculous), and I have been happy with this unit since I bought it a month ago. The free TV Guide has worked well, but it did take several days to populate the schedule (not 24 hours as advertised) when first set up.
