GoVideo R6530 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
I should have checked Amazon reviews first
I did not purchase the recorder from Amazon.  It was an impulse buy from another on-line merchant due to the low price: $169.  Tried it out immediately and successfully recorded a couple of half hour shows.  Did not use it for 3 months. A couple of days ago, I decided to \\"tape\\" a show.  The recorder would not record.  Spent considerable time on hold, talked finally with a technician who said I would have to send it in for repairs.  Unfortunately, I did not realize the warranty was for only 90 days; I thought that was only for refurbished items.  I have decided not to send it back for repairs---no telling how much it would cost.  No more impulse buying without researching.  A check of the Amazon reviews would have saved me $169.
