Toshiba RD-XS34 DVD Recorder with 160-GB Hard Drive
Great RECORDER
This recorder is great just got it last week and love it. It is real quiet and has a timeslip option that lets you pause tv shows and resume them when you want.   On the best setting the hard drive hold s about 38 hours and on worst about 250. I only waited 24 hours and got my tv guide list. I have had no problems with my recorder from day one. I will say the rule book was hard to follow and had no index. One thing i do hate is the remote. You have to open up the bottom of the remote to find another set of buttons i dont like that at all. The recorder takes about 15 to 20 seconds to turn on. The picture quality and sound is rock solid.    T\his is a great recorder for the price i went to stores shopping around before i got this one and they all wanted around 600 dollars for them.
