Philips HDRW720 DVD Recorder with 120 GB Hard Drive
WARNING: Doesn't work with DirectTV or DishNetwork!
I have been trying to get my HDRW720/17 to download and use DirectTV's programming info (their 'TV Guide') to no avail since Christmas. Finally, today I gave up and called Phillips. A tech rep finally told me that the unit is not compatible with any Hughes Satellite service (such as DirectTV, Dish Network, etc). He explained that it was optimized for Comcast Cable, so unless you have Comcast or a compatible cable service you are likely to have problems with it. I guess I'll list it on eBay and buy the Tivo/DVD marketed by DirectTV.
