ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
Early adopters will love this product
If you like to have something you want to watch everytime you sit down in front of the TV, then a Replay box is for you. <br />You program it to automatically record specific programs, movies starring your favorite  actors,  or programs on your favorite subject and it automatically searches  its program guide for these and records them. (No more spending time  setting the VCR to record multiple episodes of a favorite sitcom or drama  -- you only have to do this once with a Replay.)<br />You'll discover how much  you DON'T want to watch regularly scheduled programing, when you have a  better alternative. (I find myself watching Replay-recorded shows more than  half of the time.)<br />And it's great to be able to skip commercials (it's  faster and more convenient than fast-forwarding a VCR and lets you easily  watch a 30 minute show in only 20 minutes).<br />I personally haven't had any  problems with crashes, but do have one caveat: Getting the Replay hooked up  correctly can be a daunting task if you already have lots of video  equipment, such as cable/satellite boxes, VCRs and DVDs. It may take you  several tries to get everything to work the way you want it, so don't try  doing this when you're pressed for time.<br />And if you love TV or have a  family that does, buy the largest capacity model you can afford -- you'd be  surprised how quickly the disk can fill up.
