Toshiba D-R4 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder
Excellent with TIVO
I bought this DVR to burn programs I had saved on my TIVO. Recently, my Tivo PIONEER DVR 810-H stopped recording because it kept giving me an error. I used the Tivo to Go feature that lets you upload to your pc but it took too long to upload a single program. I decided to get the Toshiba DVR because of it's flexibility. I've hooked it up to my other DVR and it works wonderfully. The only thing I wish it had is an output for Digital Coax Cable. However, it does have an Optical cable option. The Toshiba DVR menu is easy to navigate. So far I've burned 8 DVD's with only 1 problem which was probably due to the brand of blank DVD. It works great with Maxell 4x DVD-R, but got an error when I used a Ritek DVD-R. Guess it pays to use better quality. When burning, use Toshiba's XP quality to get the best picture. The default setting- SP- is not as crisp. <br />Overall, I think this is a great DVR.
