The recorder is nice but you can only watch/tape one channel at a time and it has a few second lag if you are taping things back to back on different channels. I love this it is great. No more VHS tapes everywhere. But it is a BIG upgrade for me and I love it. I am using it with my old roof top antenna. I get a lot more channels all in digital and they are very clear.
You can record while watching another program, and recording quality is very good even at lower resolution. It was easy to program to record -- just like my VCRs. I had no problems setting it up.
I have an antenna and no plans to move to cable or satellite and my antenna works just fine. All I wanted was a digital TV recorder so I could continue to record and watch programs at my convenience. I did a lot of research in preparation for the switchover to DTV.
Well this unit does just that. This unit was exactly what I was looking for. I've been using VCRs, but to continue using them you have to have a decoder box for each one set to a single station.
Expensive and annoying.
I was able to record 26 hours of Olympics and then put on DVD for playing later on my laptop. Much better than VCR's. All in all a great machine. Since Best Buy and Wal-mart have decided not to sell this item because of copyright concerns, I was pleased to find it at Amazon at a very reasonable price. It is replacing a DVDR by Polaroid, which was a piece of junk.
In the other hand the Amazon.com return service was very nice. Came with problem with the hard disk. I returned.
5 stars. It records quickly, it has tons of room, it has dubbing features, and it's reliable. I've had this unit for about a year and I absolutely love it. I would never go back to a regular dvd recorder.
