Sony DHG-HDD500 60-Hour High-Definition Digital Video Recorder (500 GB)
Good when it works.
I use this unit in a Comcast Cablecard setup. I like everything about the system but for its lack of reliability. The quality of recording is high, the capacity is excellent, the ease of use is fine. I have no problem with the system of menus or the TVG. For no reason I can discover, the system fails to perform about one out of ten scheduled recordings. I can discern no pattern. It will record a given show on a given channel at a given time correctly upon one occasion but not on another. When I observe such a failure, and attempt to record the program manually, the machine will not accept the 'record' command. Maybe it's the machine. Maybe it's the Cablecard.  I cannot recommend the device.
