ReplayTV 5160 Digital Video Recorder
ReplayTV is Addictive, but the Hardware lacks
Received the 160 hr ReplayTV. Got it up and running in about 45 minutes (with my surround system). Within about 2 to 3 hours I felt comfortable with the remote and how to program the recordings and what not. However, from the beginning there were little things that didn't work. I recorded a series of shows, but some of them wouldn't play. The record time sometimes started early or late, causing me to miss part of the show. And then about 3 weeks after purchase, I came home to find that the unit was in a repetitive loop of rebooting. SonicBlue support said the hard drive was bad and to send it back in. I am now waiting on the next one to be delivered. If it's not here soon, I'm going with TiVo.
