Panasonic DMR-ES30VS DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
Not too durable?
I have owned this unit for approximately 9 months.  For the first 6 months it worked very well.  However, for the past three months we will be watching a dvd or vcr movie and the screen simply goes blank.  We can hear the sound, but no picture.  In order to get the video back, we have to reboot the system which is a pain in the butt.  So far Panasonic has no response.
