Sony DHG-HDD250 30-Hour High-Definition Digital Video Recorder (250 GB)
Works Perfect
I have been using this DVR for a week now. Finally the TV guide channels all showed up after 6 days. I experienced a small problem when I first put the system together but that was due to my Cable provider(Adelphia).<br />I was using a cable card on my TV, once I inserted the card in the DVR some of the channels didn't work, the problem was with the card didn't change the host name and the lady on the phone didn't understand what host name is so they sent a tech to look at it. He updated the host name and now everything is working fine.<br /><br />The DVR has been working as they described so far. The only thing I don't like about it is the remote control, it doesn't have a mute button, and last channel button. These are two buttons I always used.<br /><br />The DVR is connected to my Sony TV using the HDMI cable which was included. I went and bought optical audio cable. Connected to my Bose audio system and the audio quality is great.<br /><br />I recorded few HD shows and the picture quality was perfect. The TV guide is good and fairly easy to use once you get used to it. I like it much more than my old Adelphia TV guide. The only thing that is driving me crazy with the TV guide is the channels are not sorted right. I don't know why the channel listings are not sorted by channel number. It start with channel 3,5,8,4,7,2,257,156,37,....<br />I am not sure if I have to re-arrange the channels one by one or if there is a faster way to re-sort them.<br /><br />Rewinding and fast forwarding live tv works perfectly
