Rating: Summary: Needs a lot of improvement Review: My issues: - I also get errors when trying to record with unhelpful messages - Having it switch channels on my cable box doesn't always work (doesn't always enter all the numbers) - It won't let me enter most 3-digit channel numbers - Crashed on me twice so far. Unit still had clock working, but won't turn on & status light off. Unplug/Replug to work again. - No support on website for this product yet - Limited naming convention on recorded shows (i.e. can't specify caps where I want them, names have to be very short). - Opening/Closing DVD drawer takes you to menu (i.e. can't put movie in to watch later without disrupting what you're watching). - Can't record show on one channel & still watch anotherWhen it does record, it works great. Am hoping for some sort of firmware update(s) to fix these issues
Rating: Summary: So Far - Just a Waste of Money Review: System setup completed, but got an error message. "An Error Occurred" when channel auto setup completed. No help anywhere for this. No tech support to contact, except by email. Menu screen has option to watch TV, but when you press "OK" system just hangs. Have been working on it for 2 days, no success. I have a ReplayTV and so does my son, both work fine. We purchased this for our office, because of the price and integrated DVD player. Don't waste your money on one.

Rating: Summary: Not up to its claims Review: We were very disappointed in this unit. It often did not record as programmed. At times, only a portion of the show was recorded. It had to be rebooted several times. Many times, an error reading occurred. My children have been repeatedly disappointed in this unit. I am about to switch from cable to Direct TV and I am very concerned about the reviews posted which describe further problems with this unit and satellite reception. I plan on returning the unit to Circuit City for a refund. I hope that Tivo is better.
