Sony RDR-HXD870

Impressive feature set, Friendly user interface, Picture quality from DVD and recordings in HQ+ mode
Relatively small HDD, Poor panel display
A good all-rounder, but we'd like to see a larger hard drive

Sony RDRHXD870
Love it. Replaced my old video/DVD player combo with this about 6 months ago & haven't looked back. SO easy to use - love the thumbnail pics to find what I've recorded, flexible & versatile.
Easy to use, well designed controls, mostly intelligent layout & functions. Recording is now a breeze! The Guide function (& ability to set timing recording from it) is great though it takes a LOOONNNGGG while to come up at times - which may not be Sony...
WIsh it had an HD tuner. Dislike the startup time it takes (if the show's on already, you can't press ON & hit Record & get it going instantly). Hard to stop it Timer Recording, though I figured it out eventually.
