Great product for the price...

 

Great product for the price...

I've had this unit for about a year now. Not bad for the price. Able to pause & rewind on the fly. Recording to DVD-RW is kinda slow. While recording to disc, you can not watch TV. The unit has frozen up on us a couple of times. When this...

GREAT HD DVD RECORDER !

This RCA HD DVD RECORDER works great I have had it for 2 years and it has not let me down. I'm only selling it because I already have 2 other recorders and don't use it that often. The only thing about it is that it does not have one touch record. When...

A pretty good little DVD Recorder

 

A pretty good little DVD Recorder

I've had this unit about a year and a half and it has filled my simple needs quite well - recording films not now or ever likely to be on DVD to the hard disk via timers - since the films I want to see often come on in the dead of night or while I'm at...

Okay, but lacks some options.

 

Okay, but lacks some options.

I have owned this DVR for 14 months. It works okay most of the time. Sometimes it does odd things and has to be unplugged to reset it. My biggest fault with it is that it doesn't give you standard information about a DVD like how long it is and how...

Great little gadget!

This DVR is simple. I Love the many wonderful ways I can use this unit. Recording the videos that I want to keep on DVD is simple, as well as recording, editing, and deleting to the internal hard drive. Connecting my digital camcorder and recording...

Stay away

 

Stay away

This DVD recorder is terrible. I am on my second one in a year. It doesn't do half the things it says it can do, tech support is useless on this. The manual is very uninformative to say the least. In fact I was told by many people I have called on...
