Panasonic DMR-HS2 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/PVR with 40 GB Hard Drive (Silver)
The VHS of the 21st century
I had two units now for about 3 weeks and I rate them excellent. The unit performs as well as it looks. The recording quality is very good in SP mode (2 hr. per DVD)and quite decent for LP and EP. programming is easy once you overcome the initial &quot;features overload&quot;. (in any case if you are one of those whose VCR blinks 12:00 this unit is not for you). I love the ability of watching the beginning of a show while the unit is recording the end of it, also the background recording in the hard disk while I watch a DVD. Get one, you will not regret it!
