Cyberhome CH-DVR1600 DVD Recorder
fantastic value
Just bought this a couple of weeks ago and have been quite happy with it.  It is quite easy to set up and the user manual instructions are easy to follow.  I have it hooked up to my hd tuner and the recordings have exceeded my expectation (obviously not hd quality, but still better than vhs).  Ony one minor hiccup: it doesn't seem to work with DVD+R media even though the manual specifically mentioned DVD+R and DVD+RW; it failed repeatedly during disc format.  I tried some Fuji DVD+RW discs instead and they worked just fine.  The discs can be played back on both of my other DVD players, one of which is an old Pioneer bought 4~5 years ago.  The DV input is also quite useful, as I plan to back up some of my digital8 videos.  I can't say anything about reliability of this product as I have only owned it for a short time.  But at &lt;$100, I don't really care.
