Summary: Does the job, with no monthly or lifetime fees!!
Review: Don't know what the other guy is talking about, this device records beautifully, manually and automatically. Mines gets the local listings for all my channels automatically from the local PBS channel. I see the full listings, highlight the show I want, and it records. I can set it for one time record, or weekly! Granted, it's not the world's nicest interface, but for the price, included DVD player, and all the money saved on fees, it's great! No $12.99 to TIVO or $300 lifetime ReplayTV fee. Nice universal remote included.

Summary: Do Not Substitute This Unit For a VCR!!
Review: My emotions are mixed on this unit. The DVD portion of the machine works beautifully, but I didn't buy this unit for the DVD player.....I bought it for its ability to replace my VCR, hoping that I'd no longer have to buy VHS tapes in order to record TV shows. This unit is supposed to record up to 40 hours of programming on its hard drive, which would make it ideal for anyone going on a long vacation. But the only way I can get it to record is by turning on the unit, setting it to a channel, and hitting the record button. This means that you have to MANUALLY turn the record function on.....as well as turning it OFF!! The RCA folks were of no help, in that they read from the same manual that I do....the one that comes with the unit.So, be very careful if you're looking to this unit as a replacement for your old VCR! It simply won't do what it's supposed to do!
