ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Replay - TV the way it SHOULD be!
Wow! I'm most impressed with DTR technology in general. I avoided the Tivo since I didn't have a phone line in the family room. But add a broadband connection (which I did wireless using a Linksys WET11 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Workgroup Bridge), web-based program selection, digital photo viewer, and automatic commercial skip and you've got the BEST DTR available!<br />I was able to get the Replay 5040 up in minutes. It started by downloading a fresh set of application software. The photo viewer supports drag and drop of your favorite digital images from your PC to Replay's HD (1 Gig for photos is PLENTY). I was surprised how good they looked on a big (32\\") TV.<br />The MyReplayTV website is easy to use (though you have to wait until the nightly \\"synch\\" for selections to be downloaded - unless you use the hidden hack of pressing 243 they the Replay Zone button - you'll find all kinds of power user features).<br />How fun to have your favorite shows available when YOU want them, without commercial interuption!
