Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Can't live without it!
What more can I add?  This is one product, that after using it for a month, I can't live without it.  When I first bought the panasonic, I was going to return it and get the Sony.  However, after returning it, a week  later, I was missing shows that I like and couldn't stand it!  So I bout  the phillips TIVO and am glad I did.  There's no reason to wait for the  Sony.  This one is tried and true!
