ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Read the Manual...
To address some of the things people have complained about:<br />1) Slow response time to channel changes:<BR>This is because the feed is automatically recording.  In order to do this, ReplayTV buffers about 5 seconds.  If you're using cable or satellite with the box, you can watch it change channels immediately, and then, about five seconds later, your picture will come up.  <br />2) Component out doesn't work, only coaxial:<BR>You need to select which output you are using.  All this is set up in the SETUP menu.<br />There certainly are a few rough spots (no more than Tivo, I'd wager), but the ReplayTV box is by far the best purchase I've made in the last 10 years.  ReplayTV has changed my life.  If you like TV, you'll love Replay.  If you hate TV, Replay will make it better (you'll be able to get the things you want when you want it... that means educational shows, informational programs, or entertainment programs can be at your fingertips whenever you want to watch them.)<br />Not to mention the sports applications.  I can't tell you how much better a football game is with your own instant replay.
