Humax DRT800 DVD-R/RW Recorder/TiVo Series2 DVR Combo
Buyer Beware: Humax lowers your picture quality
What a wonderful idea this is - DVD recorder with TiVo.  Unfortunately, there are a few things they don't tell you.  If you have an older television, you may not have the necessary inputs/outputs to make the unit and/or all of the features work.  My set was nine years old - I ended up buying a new one.   <br />However, the most upsetting part of this experience was the terrible graininess that showed up in the picture (on my new set!).  I thought I had hooked the cables up incorrectly.  I purchased the recommeded component cables for the \\"best video picture\\" and it was still dreadful.  After talking to several technicians, I spoke with a supervisor who confirmed that, if you do not have a cable box, the unit significantly decreases the quality of the picture.  The bigger your set, the more noticeable this change in quality is.  I have a 27\\" which they characterized as \\"big\\". <br />I returned the unit.  Bless Sam's Club and their \\"satisfaction guaranteed\\" return policy!
