CYBERHOME CH-DVR1530 DVD Recorder With I-Link
Would Be Skeptical
While it wasn't this exact model I bought, I did buy a Cyberhome DVD recorder from Wal Mart that cost around $80.00, may have been model 1600.  It was garbage, within 5 min. of playing back the recording I saw skips in the sound and digital video distortion (similar to weather interferance on a satelite TV).  I took it back and told the woman at Wal Mart it wasn't worth the box it came in.  I was skeptical to begin with but figured for the price I would give it a try.  Consumer Reports rates Pioneer and Panasonic models at the top of their research, thats what I'll buy.
