Philips DVDR3455H

 

This low-priced recorder looks stylish and has a great remote, but it lacks a commercial-skip function and won't copy from a DVD to its hard drive.

Philips DVDR3455H - Junk

 

Philips DVDR3455H - Junk

I bought this DVR a couple years ago. It has been problematic the whole time. It takes forever for the unit to come on. You turn it on and then watch the pretty "Philips" screen for 15 - 30 seconds before it finally comes up and is usable. The unit...

Unreliable product... It trashed many DVDs! Use it with caution, like a W95 PC.

 

Unreliable product... It trashed many DVDs! Use it with caution, like a W95 PC.

First of all, I bought this marvel about 2 years ago, so I was an "early adopter" =paid it dearly. It did work fine until... it just didn't record. All my beloved TV programs were in the HD, I could watch them, but not get them to DVD. The best...

Works well for me

I have owned mine for about a year and a half. I have had no major problems with the unit itself (I did perform the update offered at Philips' site a while ago). My biggest complaint is the remote. Without the remote you cannot play DVDs. (I moved...

Works every time.

Terrible hardware, worse customer service

 

Terrible hardware, worse customer service

I have owned this product (regrettably) for almost a year. I've finally given up getting Philips to assist with a Warranty repair... To begin with, no foresight was given to the overall user experience. For example, when you initially turn on the...

Has cool features, but missing expected features

 

Has cool features, but missing expected features

Got this for the form factor and the price. And to play upconverted 1080i video on my new flatscreen tv. (Disney/Pixar's Cars looks AWESOME!) It plays practically every format that can come on a disc... and more. In many respects, it's a great player...

Great divx player for small wallets

 

Great divx player for small wallets

No problems with this divx player. Plays everything I have and the usb port is AWESOME!! This is the third one I've bought for friends. I will soon buy myself another, since I keep giving them as gifts. I love divx/xvid. Recommend for anyone...
