Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
The DMR-80H  changed my life.
This player brings me back to 1986 when I plugged a 5 Meg hard drive card into a  Tandy 1000 PC.  Suddenly computing had lots of new and intriquing options. Same deal with a DVD hard drive.<br />A few of the life changing benefits:<br />Thanks to chasing playback, we haven't sat threw a commercial since Christmas -- and no Tivo fee. We start watching a show 1/2 hour after its scheduled air time and chase it.<br />Breaking down sports replays in slow-mo is awesome baby -- The XP speed has the same quality as live TV -- there is no VCR blur.<br />Transferring our family videotape to dvd's has been a snap -- and we are able to easily edit out the boring stuff.<br />Panasonic has a blockbuster product. Network executives and advertisers should be very worried.
