Toshiba SD-H400 Combination Progressive-Scan DVD Player and TiVo Digital Media Server
Love It -- Failed in Seven Weeks
I wanted to get my wife a Tivo unit since her biggest hobbie is watching TV.  The Toshiba SD-H400 intrigued me since the basic Tivo service is free and would save on the subscriptin service.  So I bought the unit for Mother's Day.<br />I love the unit, and once you get used to it, the Tivo service is really great.  However, after a mere seven weeks of use the Live TV function would &quot;lock up&quot;.  After powering off the unit, doing resets, and reformatting the hard drive, the unit would still lock up on a single frame every 2-3 hours of use.  Toshiba Customer Service wasn't much help -- just told me to do a reset.  I was able to finally get a replacement unit, but it took a lot of effort.<br />Great idea and cool features, but the reliability of the SD-H400 is suspect in my mind.
