ReplayTV 5160 Digital Video Recorder
A Work of Genius
I have owned a ReplayTV 3060 since they began shipping.  If you've never owned a DVR, you owe it to yourself to try one.  It will change your life.  Prime time is whenever you sit down in front of the tube.  <br />The ReplayTV 5160 is a worthy upgrade.  Every aspect and feature of this product show careful thought, planning, and design.   It's attractive, quieter than the 3060 was, and much more capacious.<br />I've read many reviews in which geeks have promoted a &quot;build-it-yourself&quot; solution.  As a geek who *has* built his own, I can say with assurance that we're just not there yet.  MythTV is a marvellous programming effort, but it doesn't begin to approach the ease of use and &quot;set and forget&quot; qualities of ReplayTV.   <br />The folks at ReplayTV are gifted programmers and talented designers.  The Replay 5160 is the pinnacle of their creation, and contains features that caused the parent company to be sued out of existence.  The new parent will continue to design and market ReplayTV, but without the offending features.  This is the one to buy!
