JVC HMDH5U Digital VHS High-Definition Recorder
Don't Make This Mistake
I was hoping to record off to tape some High Definition football games for those slow summer days.  But it can't be done.  Unless you have one of those 169Time machines with a satillite dish service. That is about the ONLY way to get a HD signal into this VCR.  I have digital cable ... the cable box I-Link is incompatabile with this VCR, as are almost ALL from what I have read.  I have an outdoor digital antenna that feeds a clear and perfect 1080i signal into the TV (and it looks GREAT) but this VCR only accepts and records 480i ant signals. I can record cable channels in 480i standard definition format up to channel 99, since this VCR will NOT receive any channel past that. This VCR does not perform the functions of most VCR's that are available at 1/5 the price. <br /> <br />The Cons to purchasing this device are many. <br /> <br />The Pros .... I haven't seen any yet. <br />
