Toshiba RS-TX60 DVD Recorder with 160 GB TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder
I'm never leaving the couch!
I've had this machine for almost a month, and I'm hopelessly hooked! <br />I had the same problem with it telling me I had six days left of my free trial right out of the box, but they were very helpful when I called, so there's a plus for customer service. I also can't imagine living without some of the TiVo Plus options -- which is, of course, the purpose of the free trial...to suck me in! <br />The machine itself was incredibly easy to set up, and very simple to use. The setup manual didn't have any diagrams to do so, but I ran it through my stereo to get better sound, and it worked without a hitch. I encountered a couple glitches in programming the universal remote to work with both the TV and stereo, but those also work very well. <br />I, too, wish it would let me know how much space I have left before it starts randomly deleting programs to record others. This hasn't happened yet, but the threat that it might makes you stay on top of burning them to disk. Burning DVDs is a piece of cake, but it can't record anything while you're burning, so timing it between shows is key. <br />The only other feature on my Wish List would be that it would mark shows I've watched already. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this impulse purchase and would highly recommend it!
