Cyberhome CH-DVR1600 DVD Recorder
Pass on this one...
Why did I pick up this cyberhome?  Well, I didn't want to pay a fortune and I was looking for a firewire hookup.  The cyberhome met both requirements.  Unfortunately, I mis-judged the reliability (or the lack there of) of the unit.  I was able to record a grand total of 4 dvds.  After that the unit has ruined every dvd I have attempted to record.  What about those 4 dvds?  They don't play well in all of my dvd players.  It seems there are some extra files output to the dvd which some players can ignore and others cannot.  So what is my conclusion?  Don't buy the unit.
