Support is a huge problem for this otherwise good product

I loved my replay until something went wrong with it. I have never experienced such horrible customer support from any company providing any type of service in my life. Basicly if anything goes wrong you are just screwed. It's unbelievable. ...

This Thing's Great!

This gizmo has revolutionized my TV watching habits. No more surfing up and down the dial through 200 channels of drivel. Now I return home, even if I have been traveling for weeks at a time, and find a neatly cataloged selection of shows I really...

Converted Tivo Owner

I have owned a DirecTivo and a standard Tivo before owning a 4000 series ReplayTV. There is nothing wrong with Tivo, but I have found some things that I like much more in my ReplayTv. I won't go into all of the features of the ReplayTV, just the ones...

Everything you watch in TV will now be GOOD!

We have a slightly older Replay (the 20 hour version). It was easy to set up, easy to use. The software interface I like better than the TiVo. For example, my son has a 'thing' about the Civil War. All I have to do to find Civil War-related shows...

ReplayTV 4040 is the next generation PVR available today

If you want the next generation of personal video recorder today proceed to the checkout with a sweet ReplayTV 4040. They are the top of the line without a competitor in sight, but don't get me wrong, TiVo was great when it first came out (I was one...

Replay 4160 -Almost Big Brother of the PVRS

The 4160 Replay unit has a shinier look than previous ReplayTV/ Panasonic models, making it the a sleak looking DVR. One of the best new features over the older models is the addition of control buttons on the actual unit, while the older models...
