ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
I want a second one
If you even think you might want to get one of these just write out the check now. I studied all the features and finally decided to get a ReplayTV about 2 months ago. My VCR hasn't been on since. There are so many things I  didn't even realize I was going to use. Many other reviews here tell about  main features. Here's one I didn't even think about until we began using it  regularly. Chicago Hope starts at 8pm in my town. The kids go to bed at  8pm. Unfortunately it's usually REALLY 8:15pm or later before they get  tucked and we actually get to the TV thus missing the first few minutes.  Now with Replay we purposely don't bother turning on the TV until 8:20pm.  We know the show is recording and we can start at the beginning whenever we  get there. Even better we can jump past the commercials. ER starts  recording at 9pm (while we're watching Hope)and we pick it up about 9:10 as  we finish up a commercialess Hope. By 10pm we've watched both shows without  commercials. With a VCR we would have had to wait until 10pm when they were  done recording before we could start watching. My only down side is if I  want to record two shows - so I think it's almost time for my second  Replay. It's really that great. I'm a gadget guy so it's expected I'd like  it but it's my wife who now wants her own.
