Rating: - * Works great BUT poor Editing on disc! ...
This recorder is great so far (had it 2 weeks).Picked up all digital stations. However,whoever built the editing feature into the recorder musta been "someplace else" when he/she set it up.
Try putting a name of the recorded movie when editing. It is almost impossible to do.Stupid! I have another Toshiba unit that is over 3 years old and it can be edited soooo much easier.So i hope they get a new person to program the editing!!!!

Rating: - * good product ...
It's a good product and has all the features I'm looking for, burn DVD and watch cable TV. For those who complained the picture quality from the turn, you may try to set different video format to pick a better one. The default produce much worse picture quality. After I change to rgb format, it looks much better.

Rating: - * Possible defective product ...
The DVD playback was great. However, the digital tuner had a tough time locking into my digital cable channels. The picture quality was far inferior to the TV tuner and DVR. I may have had a defective product. It was returned for a full refund (GREAT SERVICE!)but a replacement was not in stock.

Rating: - * Toshiba DR560 Good deal. ...
I didnt believe the low price would yield a decent machine. But so far so good.

Rating: - * It's good enough! ...
For the price it's excellent, though as many have said here, it would benefit from some refinement. It's frustrating that digital channels take so long to flick through, but I think that's a general issue with the system, not this recorder. Yes the menu could be better, and the recording quality is pretty good. So if your VCR is dying (which mine did!) or you want to use this as a digital TV decoder (which I do) then it's well worth the money - until cheaper BluRay recorders come out in a couple of years. Till then, this will do fine.
