BEWARE if you are in Denver/Boulder - no TV Guide listings
| I have owned this unit for nearly two years, have called customer support several times (they are friendly and fairly knowledgeable) and have never been able to use TV Guide listings because of an apparent incompatibility with Comcast's signal and this unit. Now, I can "rent" a DVR unit from Comcast that DOES work with their TV Guide signal (a Panasonic even!) but I dislike the idea of getting rid of this unit after investing a decent amount of $$ into it. If it weren't for this major problem, I'd be very happy with the unit. |

Great recorder, easy to use
I bought this unit a year ago. I did not want to be tied to yet another monthly charge such as Tivo and I wanted the ability to burn DVDs. This has been a great machine for me. I hooked up my (not-so-old) VCR/DVD combo and transferred home videos to DVD. I can also burn DVDs of shows I want to keep indefinitely, but not take up space on the hard drive- thus I can have the entire season of my favorite shows on DVD, commercial-free once I take the time to edit them.

Totally changed the way I watch TV
| I have had this unit for well over a year. It has really changed the way I watch TV. Sometimes I sit down on a Sunday and scan the TV guide for channels I like for the week ahead. The machine records these on the hard drive. At my convenience, I watch the shows. Naturally, I speed through the commercials. Most often, I erase the show after watching. However, it is something I want to save, I either leave it on the huge hard drive or dub it to a disc. I hope the price will come down so that I can buy another one for another room in the house. |
