Panasonic DMR-EH50S DVD Recorder with 100 GB Hard Drive Recording
not recommended if you plan to go with high definition
I had this DVD recorder and it worked as expected until I upgraded to a high definition TV. Now the DVD recorder cannot be used as before. It's incompatible with the new Comcast HD cable box I had to get. So there's no way to do scheduled recordings with the TV guide user interface. There's nothing in the Panasonic literature that I could find that warned of this limitation. I spent several days trying to reconfigure the system after I made the change and each time it failed. There may be a way to manually schedule recording. When I tried to get through to panasonic technical support on the phone to discuss this got nothing but busy signal. So I'm going to have to ditch the EH50 and get a Comcast DVD recorder. Anyway, this unit works good if you're not using hi def.
