Panasonic DMR-EH50S DVD Recorder with 100 GB Hard Drive Recording
Very Good Machine
I've had the dmr-eh50 for about a month.  So far so good.  It works wonderfully with my cable; basic cable with no cable box (Cox).  The TV guide downloads nightly about the next 2 days of information, and makes it a breeze to schedule recording of shows or events for one time or schedule it to occur weekly.  Play back is very simple.  I do suggest downloading the manual and reviewing it, it does point out that the dvr does not work with satelite.  I did wire it differently than the manual suggest, using a splitter to enable my old vcr to also still record shows. If the TV guide is not setup, it really makes the dvr harder to use.  I left the machine off overnight.  The next night I was able to play with the machine while reading the manual.  Got used to the functions quickly.  Then I reread the manual a few nights later and picked up things I previously missed.  For the money, this is a great box.  It would gotten a 5 star rating if I could record 2 shows at the same time.
