ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
Great Product!
I have been involved in review wars over in the book side of Amazon, and it looks like we've got one going here. I have no interest in either ReplayTV or TiVo and don't know anybody who works for either company.<br />I  have only had my ReplayTV for a couple of days, but I love it. I had no  problems with installation -- everything went very smoothly. Picture  quality on the standard setting is fine -- certainly no worse than my VHS  VCR and I think a bit better. No evidence of excessive pixelation that some  of the negative reviewers have mentioned. Sound quality is fine -- though I  don't have external speakers.<br />I found the remote control to be easy (and  intuitive) to use. The ReplayTV screens (e.g. channel guide, etc.) are well  designed and easy to read. I like that the audio of the channel you're on  stays on while browsing the channel guide. I could go on for well more than  the 1000 words allowed with all the ways I like this product.<br />A friend  has a TiVo and we have compared notes: each machine has its little quirks,  but nothing that one can't live with.<br />All in all, I would (and have)  recommend the ReplayTV to anybody looking a product like this.<br />And why  only 4 stars if its so great? Well, I have only had it less than a week.  I'll upgrade that to 5 stars in 6 months or so.
