Read these reviews! I should have!
| I purchased the Toshiba RD-XS34 Recorder without reading the reviews posted here. I should have! The recording quality is good but the controls are confusing and the instruction manual is not a lot of help. I found that once I figured out how to do something I was better off writing it down and creating my own instructions. Multiple overlapping controls on the remote don't help the situation. I have had the recorder for two months and I now have it almost figured out. TV Guide is as described in the reviews. A nightmare. Finally left the recorder off for three days and now have the guide but I worry it will go away again. Can't record movies off HBO or Showtime and put on DVD unless it's a DVD-RAM which won't play on most DVD players. We had hoped to record movies and play on our other DVD TV but that's not happening. Editing works OK but takes a lot of fooling around with to get comfortable with it. There has got to be better recorder than this. |

Great unit after the firmware upgrade and learning curve
After learning how to use this machine, and applying a factory-provided firmware upgrade, we have been very satisfied. There are many features on this dvr. We use this dvr to record home school classes from Bob Jones Homesat.
