Toshiba SD-H400 Combination Progressive-Scan DVD Player and TiVo Digital Media Server
Very, very nice unit with caveats
This thing is very nice and Tivo basic is addictive...and \\"free\\". Conventional VCR-like recording is also trivial in its ease. (People joke about how hard it is to program their VCR. Anyone who can't program their SD-H400 stopped breathing some time ago. It's that easy.)<br /><br />The fan IS noisey and it is annoying when the sound is off. You learn to accept it because the TIVO feature is so nice. The DVD player does not play JPEGs which in this day and age is ludicrous. How could Toshiba blow that one when outfits like Cyberhome selling $30 DVD players manage that trick? Dumb move, Toshiba.<br /><br />Finally, it is a bit on the large size. Had to come up with a shelf to set it on my rear projector that easilly accomodated a Panasonic player with no shelf needed...and it is out of production. If you find one for $200 or less, BUY IT! I may get a second one.
