Toshiba RD-XS34 DVD Recorder with 160-GB Hard Drive
Descent buy , few issues still remaining
1. TV guide never worked for me. I entered my ZIP code and waited for more than 24 hours and the program list was never downloaded. I was able to browse through all channels manually, so I was receiveing the cable signal. But TV guide never worked.    ** LATEST EDIT - Begin**  (After I decided to return this, I went and bought a Panasonic DVD recorder. Then I unplugged all cables including power, on my Toshiba Recorder and later remembered I forgot to archive some recording. Then I connected all cables again and VOILA, TV guide was working fine for me. Don't ask me how, but I guess removing all plugs and connecting them again, must have worked.)  ** LATEST EDIT - End**    2. When I switched different input Lines using the 'Input Selection' button, switching between, Satellite, Cable etc, sometimes the audio was lost.     ** LATEST EDIT - Begin**  The problem maybe, I guess, is with the optical fibre cable for audio.   ** LATEST EDIT - End**      3. I was unable to watch something else on TV when a recording was on    ** LATEST EDIT - Begin**  This issue still reamined after unplugging and plugging back again.  ** LATEST EDIT - End**    4. I bought a Memorex DVD-R 8x 4.7GB 120 min DVD disk. The recorder did not recognize this DVD-R.    ** LATEST EDIT - Begin**  I tried a different DVD-R. A Panasonic with 4x. It worked this time.  ** LATEST EDIT - End**    ** LATEST EDIT - Begin**  I would rate this product 3 star.  ** LATEST EDIT - End**    Iam gonna return this DVD Recorder. Probably get a Sony or Panasonic recorder.
