ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
I love my Replay
I got my Replay for Christmas, and I bought the lifetime subscription. So far, everything about using my Replay has exceeded my expectations. I have a couple friends that have Tivo, and I would say that this is better than Tivo. It's a million times better than a VCR that uses tapes.<br />My setup time took about 70 minutes, mostly waiting while it downloaded the channels and program updates over the built-in modem. It came with clear instructions and a big, easy-to-read diagram. I thought it would be a lot harder to set up, but it was really easy.<br />I have been taping my favorite shows, movies, everything. No more commercials, it's great. I watch all my sports using my Replay now. I can skip through half-time, and 2-minute timeouts during basketball games. It's really saved me time. The average 60 minute show has 18 minutes of commercials!<br />There hasn't been much of a downside. My cable tuner is a little slow to change channels (takes 3-4 seconds), but that has been my only complaint.<br />I recommend checking this product out if you know someone who has it. I warn you, once you've used it, you'll want to own it!
