ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Similar bad experiences
I completely concur with the negative postings recently added.  In a nutshell, the issues I experienced are as follows:<BR>  - System freezes<BR>  - VERY slow response time to change channels<BR>  - Component video connections do not work - only able to use coax<BR>  - Customer service is horrible - I was on hold for over an hour to get through to an agent who did little more than confirm that the problems I am experiencing are known bugs with the 5000 line.  <br />I'm definitely returning the product, although I may give the previous model or Tivo a shot.
