Panasonic DMRE85HS Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 120 GB Hard Drive Recording
Good Machine until hard drive crashed
Have had the DMR85 for 8 months now.  Relatively pleased with its performance.  Drawbacks mentioned by others not that big of a deal until the HDD on mine crashed.  Lost several programs I wanted to keep, but hadn't burned yet.  In the repair shop right now.  A little leary because of the long repair times mentioned by others.  Will update on my repair experience.    Took a couple of weeks because of problems getting parts, but the unit has worked great since being repaired.  It wasn't the HDD, but a circuit board that went bad.  Not a perfect machine, but then who makes a perfect one?  Overall, very pleased with it.  No one seems to be making Recorders with HDD's much anymore, so i'm glad I have two of these.  I would upgrade the unit to 4 stars.
