Toshiba RS-TX20 DVD Recorder with 120 GB TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder
Tivo is Great, DVD recorder is unreliable
I bought this unit in October 2005 - purchased for the TIVO with DVD burning capability.  The Tivo was easy to setup, easy to use.  DVD burning worked well for 4 months then,I began to get error messages \\"saving failed - internal error\\".  Resetting/restarting did not solve the problem.  Toshiba tech support was no help.  The unit had to be sent in for repair - 2 weeks later I received a \\"reconditioned\\" unit.  The reconditioned unit worked for 30 days, then began with the same error message. Tech supports only answer \\"unplug it and then plug it in - if that doesn't solve the problem, you will have to send it in for repair\\".  Toshiba paid the shipping costs for the 2nd return.  3 weeks later I received the 3rd unit - reconditioned.  On the first day, I got the same error message.  Tivo works fine, I am able to record and view programs, but not able to burn DVD's.  It seems a shame since I paid extra for this capability. I don't know what Toshiba will do at this point.  After 3 failed units, I think it is fairly certain that reliability is poor for the DVD burning option.
