ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
Revolutionary!
Wow!  This thing is amazing!<br />First: to anyone worried about buying such a pricey item online: I did have troubles with the unit that was inititally shipped.  But, both Amazon and Replay were SUPERB in their handling of the  situation.  I had the problem corrected in less than 48hours from initial  delivery.<br />Now...on to the fun stuff.  This thing rocks!  The user  interface is EASY.  Anyone can navigate the listings, set recordings, set  up the machine, etc.  Arrow buttons and &quot;Select&quot; are all that's  needed.<br />I got the 20hr unit and I think that's plenty.  Sure, there are  some shows that seem pixelated on the lowest setting but it's no big deal.  I don't have too many &quot;Guaranteed&quot; shows (the unit has taped  EVERYTHING it's supposed to) so that might have something to do with  it.<br />I rarely watch live TV anymore - it's so inconvenient.  I just tape  plenty of &quot;filler&quot; shows - shows I enjoy but aren't &quot;must  see&quot;.  Then, when I sit down to watch TV I have a few hours just  waiting for me.  And they're INSTANTLY there - no fumbling with  tapes!<br />And I've read stories of other units crashing, etc.  Mine has not  had one single crash or slow time of operation (nor one software download)  in a week's time.  Everything's run smoothly.<br />There are some minor  features I'd like (the ability to record on a &quot;timer&quot; and being  able to change &quot;Replay Channels&quot; settings with current episodes  &quot;waiting&quot;) but they're minor and could be added with future  software updates.<br />It's great...it WILL change your habits.  But one NOW!  :)
