ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
Spent $700, got $90 VCR!  ReplayTV isn't gonna make it...
So I spent the $699 on ReplayTV, it includes everything, no monthly fee.  As I unpacked I realized that there was a cable missing...I called Replay and waited on hold for 30 minutes, they sent the cable...2 days later I am  ready to hook up the machine and I plug it in, loud noises from the  machine...after waiting another 30 minutes the phone rep assures me that  this is normal and something just to get used to...  So, it tapes what I  want, it doesn't find anything new for me...I could have my $300 VCR tape  my weekly programming with the it's daily/weekly feature and the quality is  just as good...Talking about quality, Replay doesn't give you 30hours if  you want viewable quality...if you choose the lowest quality a large  quality tv will show a grainy image...no good for sports or fast moving  pictures... Replay's concept is okay, but they haven't produced a machine  that is quiet or that has enough memory for anything useful...  Hopefully  the next generation of PVR/DVRs have some better features!
