Sony DHG-HDD500 60-Hour High-Definition Digital Video Recorder (500 GB)
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY
I have been waiting for a Hi-Def DVR ever since I bought a Sony 70 inch Hi-Def TV two years ago. I checked this unit out online and at the Sony website and thought it a good start even without TIVO functionality. Was I every WRONG! It lasted 3 weeks and then totally lost all data for the TV GUIDE and did not regain it. I spent over a week on the phone with Sony Tech Support trying ways to fix the problem. It is right back to the point of failure after more than a month. Without the Guide DAta there is no way to schedule recordings! I went back to the Sony Website today looking for info on this DVR. I found a few PICTURES ONLY. Sony has pulled this from the website. I contacted the seller for a replacement. They offered to try to have it repaired. They have no stock to do a replacement. Even AMAZON.com shows this as not available. I am stuck with a severely crippled DVR that I cannot get replaced or refunded. You don't want one, believe me! I gave it 1 star because I couldn't give it less, MUCH less.
