Sylvania DVR90VF DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
This is more like it
After throwing a three-month-old Ilo DVR out the window, I purchased this DVR/VCR combo.  <br />I've had it for about three weeks now and not a glitch. I've successfully recorded everything I wanted to, and my DVDs last a lot longer with the 10-hour record option. Even music recorded at this speed doesn't sound weird. It's pretty user-friendly and easy to figure out.  <br />It doesn't get hot, has a fan, and is \\"off\\" in it's standby mode. <br />If I had to complain at all, it's that in order to play DVDs recorded on this on other DVD players, you have to make sure to record in video mode and finalize the disk. <br />I've tried dubbing to/from DVD to VHS and vice versa, and no problems there either. <br />I really like it at this point; my experience with the cheapo Ilo has made me wary of these things in general, but so far so good with the Sylvania. <br />Another good thing: You CAN record HBO with this; some won't let you record premium channel programming.
