Humax DRT800 DVD-R/RW Recorder/TiVo Series2 DVR Combo
Beware
I have just received my third unit in 2 months and hoping that I don't have a problem with this unit. Let me state that I love Tivo and it could not be any eaisier to use. I bought this unit because I liked the idea of recording something and saving it to dvd to take with us on the weekends.  <br /> <br />My first unit within 2 weeks started making loud noises like there was a cd stuck in it and live tv was freezing up and the front lights kept blinking. The unit was $300.00 new and Humax put a hold on my credit card for $400. and sent a refurbished unit (that was a year old). Within a couple of weeks the new/used unit was freezing up on recorded shows. So here again, I just hooked up the replacement and hoping for the best. I wish I would of asked if they would just give me a refund but I have a feeling they wouldn't since I purchased it through another outlet. <br /> <br />I do have to say that the features for recording recorded shows to dvd is very easy and the worst of the technology challenged can work this machine. <br /> <br />But, knowing what I know now, I would just go with the Tivo unit and not worry about this piece of crap. <br /> <br />BTW, the quality is not too good, Tivo was definitely better, but I am not one of those people that need to see every detail but it is noticably different.
