ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
I Don't Understand All The Problems...We Think It's Great!
Some of the complaints just don't make any sense: \\"you can't record one show and watch another\\"--I do it every day!, \\"commercial-skip only works with slow shows\\"--this is simply not true, Sonic Blue claimed that it caught 97% of commercials and I have found this to be entirely accurate.  Every now and then it will miss some, and all I have to do is press the 30-sec skip button a couple times, sure beats FF on my VCR!  \\"Nobody knows who owns it\\"--ReplayTV is now owned by the same parent company as Denon electronics.  As for the lock up at night problem, this can be fixed by not keeping the phone cord plugged in at all times; plug it in once a week, and do a manual \\"net-connect\\" (zones option 7).  This product beats the hell out of TiVo!  Don't hesitate to purchase!
