Panasonic DMR-EH50S DVD Recorder with 100 GB Hard Drive Recording
Great machine... does all I want and more
After searching every review I could find online about DVRs I finaly settled on this model from Panasonic. It had all the features I wanted and Amazon's price was fantastic.$110 less than Circut City localy and their price on the web to. No sales tax either. I did spring for the 2 day shipping even though it came with free super saver shipping. I wanted it before Thanksgiving, they shipped it on Monday and I recieved it on Wednessday afternoon. I played with it a while Wednessday evening and set it to record manualy then left for the holiday, came home and all the movies I would have otherwise missed were waiting for me. The TV guide works perfectly with no cable box, just standard cable from Adelphia. Alhtough it didnt download correctly unil Sunday night, it is working great now.  <br /> <br />I had set it to record 12 movies and 6 hours of regular shows while I was gone for the holiday, all on standard play. I had 48 minutes of record time left after all of that, and several of the movies were 3 hours long and the rest were 2 hours. Now that is a LOT of recording! Playback is perfect, just like watching original programming. Searching is fast and easy. I havent tried editing or burning to disc yet, but it looks to be simple and quick to learn.  <br /> <br />I highly recomend this product, along with Amazon's price and service.
