Sony SVR-2000 Digital Video Recorder
SVR-2000 A Big Disappointment for this Sony Fan
Every TV and component in my home is from Sony so I was both surprised and disappointed by the poor quality of the SVR-2000.  After just five weeks the unit locked up and would not function.  When I called Sony for assistance the support representative basically said to bad and I have since had to pay to ship the unit to their repair center.  When the unit was functioning I enjoyed the TiVO service but the Sony SVR-2000 was slow to react to the remote control and I found the lack of a 30 Sec commercial skip feature to be a real pain as you must fast forward to skip often missing the re-start.  Overall based on the poor quality, poor ease of use and the even worse customer support, I can not recommend this product.  Try the Philips....
