ReplayTV RTV5516 160-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Good on paper, junk in the box
I originally chose ReplayTV over Tivo because of the indefinite pause, and the fact that it can display pictures without additional charges, but now I'm returning the ReplayTV and buying a Tivo instead for the following reasons:<br />I paid $519 for a 5508 that was supposed to include 3 years of service.  Guess what, it doesn't.  This is clearly false advertising and a rip-off, and reason alone not to deal with this company!<br />The photo transfer software doesn't work, and now cannot be uninstalled on the two computers I tried it on.<br />The telephone tech support appears to be hosted offshore, and after placing me on hold for extended periods of time failed to resolve any of my issues, and keep suggesting things I already told them I tried.<br />The ReplayTV unit would generate interference on my cable tv signal whenever it was plugged in to a power outlet.  After trying multiple coax splitters and RFI filters, I finally noticed that the interference went away when I unplugged the ReplayTV box.  The interference was evident even when the ReplayTV box wasn't connected to the coax, just connecting it to power would generate the interference.
