ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
Disappointment is an understatement, Replay can't cut it
First of the all, the unit can't have anything else near it because it has cooling vents on every side...I had to clear out a huge space in my entertainment center...<br />Easy hookup, but no local number for dial-up!   They say their is no subscription price, but I am gonna pay $60 a month  because of nightly dial-ups!<br />The machine kind of hums and whirs all day  and night, even when it's not in use.  If you care anything about annoying  sound in your home theater, this machine basically ruins the peace and  quiet.<br />If you care about picture quality, then don't consider this a 20  hour unit, consider more like 14 hour since the lowest settings are pretty  much unwatchable...if you own a t.v. 25 inches or larger, you can't watch a  thing on the slowest speed.<br />It tapes the t.v., it skips commercials, but  that's about it.  Not worth the nuisance.  I'll wait for a bigger unit, a  quieter unit, and I'd much rather pay $10 a month subscription than $60 to  the phone company.<br />I'll wait for a real electronics company to make a  personal digital recorder...isn't Sony releasing something soon?
