CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 Progressive-Scan DVD+R/+RW Recorder and Player , Silver
Lots of Promise and NO Payoff
This recorder has lots of promise - good price, great features. Too bad you can't get it to work when you buy it. I have had two units, and now it is going back for refund. The machine locks up - no button functions, the disk is inside the tray and will not come out. Turn it off, unplug it, push every button - still locked up - BOTH units did the same thing. Each time after an attempt at a timer record.  You will see lots of mention of lock up on reviews of this machine - I wonder if anyone has one that actually works - if so, your odds are 1,000 to 1 that you will get the one that works. VERY DISAPPOINTING, especially when you are looking forward to owning a DVD recorder.  I do not understand how a company can sell a product that does not work.
