Refurbished LG Electronics LRM-519 Digital Media DVR/DVD Recorder with 160 GB Hard Drive
Research before you buy
I didn't buy this from Amazon but I tend to do some of my reseach from reading reviews here, so... I actually did a fair amount of research and the 160GB hard drive and ability to hook it up to my network were big selling points for me.  But while I like my LG cell phone, their DVR's leave something to be desired (at least this model).  Had to return the first one because the colors were off with component cables and the picture was black & white when using an S-video cable.  I tried in total 3-4 sets of cables (that work perfectly fine with my other components) so it wasn't the cables.  Called the 1-800 tech support number and the woman was less than helpful. Returned the first one and got a new one, same problem with the S-video cable and the colors and picture brightness flicker with the component cables. Computer created videos formatted as letterbox will also only play in full screen mode.  It's going back tomorrow and I'll be looking at another brand.
