Toshiba RD-XS35 DVD Player/Recorder with 160 GB Hard Drive
Quite good
The other reviews are quite accurate and helpful. I simply plugged the unit in, entered my zip code and it had all of the tv listings downloaded by the next day. The only complaint that I have and the reason why I am giving it four stars is that the menu is not very intuitive and it is fairly slow in response to user input. For example my previous dvr unit was recording all the time so that you could hit the pause button on any channel you were watching and it would freeze the show for you, this toshiba requires you to hit the time slip button and then wait for about fifteen seconds while it starts to record. The remote is also a bit ungainly but that can be solved by getting a universal remote. <br /> <br />Overall I am very happy with it and you do get used to the quirky menus.
