ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
Everything I want when I want it!
I've had my unit for 24 hours now and I can already see that it have a much more radical effect on the way I watch television that I thought it would.<br />Picture quality is good at standard quality (20 hours), excellent at medium quality, and indistinguishable from commercial video tape at high  quality (no DVD player to compare it to).  I didn't realize just how big a  deal the ability to time shift programming would be to me.  Sure, I  expected to take advantage of the ability to start watching Law &amp; Order  from the beginning 20 minutes after it started (once I got the kids to  bed), but I didn't realize just how much good stuff I was missing out on  that airs late night.<br />My only wish would be for a time-channel-duration  recording option from time to time, say to catch a sporting event that may  run long compared to the listed times.<br />Other than that, this unit is  nearly perfect.  The best [money] I ever spent on a piece of home  entertainment equipment.
