Rating: - * Good Digital Tuner / Recorder ... I my opinion it is a good DVD Tuner/Recorder. It does what is supposed to do. I bought it more for the tuner because my TV does not have the ATSC and QAM search. I have basic TV service, and I was not lucky to get more channels except some public ones. It records, easy to set up, my TV does not have the HDMI plug, so I do not have very high quality picture, of the air is perfect, but I get less channels then the basic. I did watch some of the European Football Championship in 1080p from the air though. Rating: - * Solid Product ... This DVD Recorder is all that it claims to be. Simple to set up and use and the quality is sufficient for my use- a basic user. The only low light, as has been mentioned in other reviews, is the remote. The remote works fine and it's layout is okay but the lettering is in a gray color and hard to read under low light conditions, like at night with lights on in the room. The lettering should be white. Still pretty useable tho so I still gave a 5 star rating, probably should be 4.5 Rating: - * Overall good DVD player ... This player sets up easily right out of the box and has good picture quality both through the tuner and when playing DVDs. My only complaint so far is that it takes a little longer to load a DVD than some other players I've used. I haven't had a reason to record anything yet so I can't comment on that function but the instructions show that it has a decent amount of recording options so I'm assuming that it can be set up to fit whatever my recording needs will be. I'm happy with this player overall. Rating: - * Alternative to DVR ... I bought this recorder because I didn't want to pay the monthly fee for DVR. It works as advertised - just make sure and stock up on blank DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs. Rating: - * Ease Of Use ... I took it out of the box and found that it was very easy to hook up and operate. The operation manual that comes with it is very clear and easy to read. It is not very complicated to understand like some manuals. I am very happy with the choice I made. |
