Panasonic PV-HS2000 ShowStopper 30-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Long-term Reliability Poor?
Replay TV is really the coolest thing to hit the TV market in quite a while but the reliability of both unit & remote is not great... We've had this \\"TV enhancement\\" for about 2 years and it's down right now. On the good side, TV watching has been completely under our control, including elimination of network broadcast timing/day, etc as well as the magic \\"replay\\" and \\"skip over the silly bits\\" buttons!!<br />Despite the constant useless messages about \\"call failures\\", clunky data entry (keypad select/click vs a REAL keyboard) and the crummy image quality, the system is worth every penny ... Online connectivity to your box is also super cool, letting you tweak the record settings when you're away. ...  Enjoy it if you have one!
