Panasonic DMR-E80H Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with Hard Drive , Silver
Not bad for what it does...
It was a good product for its time.  At this point it is lacking some key features such as MPEG4 recordings, networking ability, TV guide (such as TiVo) and ability to support multiple disk format.  The key feature being networking ability.  I would like to be able to use the unit in the bedroom to view shows recorded in the livingroom -- using the home computer network.  That way I do not have to burn any disks. <br /> <br />Need to remember to reformat the hard drive periodically to make sure it does not mess up.  I try to do that once every other month.  I have never had any issues.  Very reliable product.  The remote design could use some help.
