Remanufactured HUMAX DRT800F DVD Recorder with TiVo
Just because a couple others received defective units doesn't mean this is a poor product
I own a  REFURBISHED - HUMAX HRT800 DVD-R Series 2 TiVo and absolutely LOVE IT. It's worked like a charm since the moment I hooked it up. No problems with at all. This unit is a MUST for your home theater. It has all the inputs/outputs you need to connect it to a home theater receiver including an optical line out for TRUE digital sound. It's got Dolby Digital and DTS encoding too. Never again will I go back to a VCR - especially now that I can record shows to a DVD. And for the beginners out there - don't ever buy DVD+R's  - you want DVD-R's - what's the difference? DVD+R's don't play in computers or component DVD players (DVD+Rs were a huge marketing mistake). Record programs to a DVD-R and it'll play in a Macintosh, a PC and vitually any consumer DVD player. I make copies of shows fro my brother who doesn't have cable and send them to him all the time. <br /> <br />Anyway, this unit REFURBISHED gets 5 stars. PLus, if you do happen to get a defective unit - HUMAX is really good about quickly sending you a replacement - despite some of the horror stories on here.
