Philips HDR312 TiVo 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
TIVO is the best thing to come down the pipe...
You will love this machine! They do charge a monthly subscription, so go with the lifetime subscription.  Replay charges you the [same] fee upfront (at time of purchase) when you buy their machine, so there is no price difference between the two machines.<br /><br />My 30 hour machine is working perfectly (since Nov 99).<br /><br />Note added Feb 21, 2005:<br /><br />My TIVO still going strong after 5 years.  What a great product. The Replay brand is out of business, but TIVO is still the best, with the best features!<br /><br />Updated April 4, 2007:<br /><br />Still going strong after 7 years.  Great product from TIVO!
