Humax DRT800 DVD-R/RW Recorder/TiVo Series2 DVR Combo
Similar image quality/hard-drive issues
Just wanted to second the comments made concerning the quality of the image as well as the machine malfunctioning.  We purchased the TIVO DRT800 at the beginning of January and immediately noticed picture quality issues.  Sometime in early February the machine started to skip/generally malfunction and by mid-February just plain didn't work.  As others mentioned after 2 hours on the phone with Humax we were forced to put a $500 deposit down to receive a new machine until we shipped ours back.  We returned the broken one in the last couple days and are hoping that the deposit is refunded without issue or more time spent on the phone with Humax. <br /> <br />Keeping our fingers crossed that machine #2 does not malfunction as well!!
