Toshiba RD-XS52 DVD Player/Recorder with HDMI
I love pausing live TV but it needs a keyboard interface
I bought this device to record tv shows and to transfer my super 8 home movies to DVD.  The problem with storing TV shows is labeling what you saved.  If you want to store something long term, it is very laborious to label what the show is.  If I could plug a keyboard into the unit, labeling would be much faster. <br /> <br />I love pausing live TV and recording shows ad-hoc.  Skipping commercials on what I recorded is a breeze with a button that defaults to 30-second skip forward. <br /> <br />I have a lot more to learn on it, but so far I like it.  If you want to store lots of TV shows and label them, you'll want a TIVO.
