CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 Progressive-Scan DVD+R/+RW Recorder and Player , Silver
CyberHome CH-DVR 1500
I just purchased this recorder today and first off I D/L the two upgrades files from CyberHome web site.  I found out after that the clock/timer display is 24 format only (no one mention this fact in any of the 15 reviews) which is very awkward not only for me but for my wife!  And when trying to set the month, day and year the day of the week is wrong (setting it for today... 01/30/04 Fri the display shows... 01/30/04 Sat!  So if you try to program the timer the unit will record on the wrong day!  Unbelievable!  I emailed CyberHome and they emailed me back saying they will consider the AM-PM format in next firmware update.  I hope!<br />Update March 13,2004<br />Yes CyberHome fixed the 24 hour only clock format to 24/12 format with the new firmware upgrade but the display shows a \\"0\\" before 1 to 9 am/pm, for example... 05:15 AM etc. hopefuly next firmware will fix this!  Also I just found out that the built in TV tuner is a Not Stereo tuner!  The only way to get Stereo TV Broadcast is to use a Stereo VCR connected to Video 1 input and record on Video 1.  I don't think they could fix the No Stereo Tuner with a firmware upgrade!  Anyway  hopefuly when the Next generation of Recorders from CH will have a Stereo Tuner and Hard Drive!
