Outstanding for timer recording
I bought one 2 months ago and liked it so much I bought a second one, so I can record programs from 2 channels at the same time. I don't like to pay a monthly fee for anything, so I have always just set VCR's to record off the antenna by timer. But that won't work after February. What nobody tells you is that the converter box will not let you do that, because the channel selection is in the ...

Great Value
The product was shipped promptly via UPS. The upconverting feature works really well. The quality of the DVD discs I've played so far is pretty close to blu-ray quality. I have not used the VHS copy to DVD yet.

I bought the Slingbox Solo and Turbo, as my router is not close to my HDTV. The setup process took about 15 minutes, and the Sling Box works great. I use it to watch recorded programs while travelling on my laptop, the quality is generally very good. One problem that the Sling Box has, if you connect your cable box to your HDTV using an HDMI cable, you will only get a video signal using the ...

Very effectively gets the job done
This product works great. It is very easy to set up and once connected, is very effective. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. I'd recommend this over any other brand that merely "works" with TiVo. Since this was designed for TiVo, it's seemless. Not only that, you don't have to downgrade the security of your wireless network to get it to work. It seems that sometimes my signal quality ...

Good Purchase
Of all the DVD type electrical equipment I own the DR-560 is my favorite. It does a fine job of recording and is easy (that I'm able to do it is all the proof you need). I like the playback on DVD's, the picture is very good and the resume function works after the player is turned off and turned back on. What impressed me the most was the improved TV reception with the DR-560 digital tuner, I ...

Good but not great
This recorder has many good extras such as play while recording, audio at 1.3 speed as well as the ability to record double layer and record for 8 hours in exteneded mote. It has limited editing capabilities and I have noticed more drop outs in EP mode than with a JVC 100MR. The clock seems to loose a few seconds a day. For the price, however, it is a good buy.

I Bought 3 cables with different outcomes
I need HDMI to connect my PS3, and 2 HD 1080P Tv's to the HD Cable Box. I first bought 2 of these cables from the 'Eforcity' seller 2 months ago. Then I bought 1 from the "Abacus" seller when i got my PS3 last week. i realized that the cables were different (which i figured would be). The Abacus Cable was great, gave clear 1080p clarity and the PS3 acknowledged that the cable was 1080p. ...

Love this Recorder!
I had purchased two different DVD Recorders from Radio Shack. One lasted a little less than a year. The other lasted approximately six months. Both had intermittent problems for a few months before refusing to record any longer. I shopped around town and on the internet for many months before I found the Toshiba DR410 Recorder. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to read the reviews and decided it ...

Great product
I got sick of paying for direct TV, so I got this and a large over air antenna. Now I pay for the shows I want on amazon, and get the rest for free. It will take me a couple of months to recoup the cost, but not that many. It has great recording quality, and if your TV is like mine, and you need to buy an HD receiver to get HD, this has it built in, while a plane receiver would normally cost ...

Great gadget!
Western Digital WDG1S5000VN 500GB My DVR Expander eSATA Greatest piece of hardware I have ever purchased. I was forever getting "not enough space" warnings when trying to record HD programs. That is now gone. I didn't even need a "geek" to install it for me. Anyone with a Tivo HD DVR should make this a must have! You also have much more time to retrieve programs that you screwed-up and ...

A way to reencode from analog HD outputs
There have been many times over the past few years that I wished I had the ability to permanently save high definition programs stored on my HD DVR. But thanks to Hollywood's piracy paranoia, many HD DVRs lack the ability to permanently archive stored HD programs. The Hauppage offers a way around this limitation by making it possible to take the component video outputs from a DVR or HD tuner ...

I have older Uniden phones which I got at Costco many years ago and one day I noticed that they wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few hours off the charger so I got new replacement batteries and the phones are like new. For about $30 I have great phones and it would have cost at least double that for new ones plus replacing batteries is probably much better for the environment. We live in ...

This is it!
Okay I tried a Samsung version of a DVD Recorder it just wasn't all the way right. Finally it stopped recognizing all DVD's. I replaced it with this Panasonic unit and like most items from Panasonic it works great. The set-up is easy, and since I do all my tuning through my cable box I do not miss having a build in tuner. My one criticism is I do not like the look of the IR transmitter that ...

Don't waste your time with anything else
After spending years with Cox Communications DVRs (Motorola and then Scientific Atlanta) and dealing with all the problems they cause (not recording everything, not recording at all, crashing, dying etc.) we decided to try TiVo. I have yet to find a flaw with this piece of equipment. It records what its supposed to, when its supposed to. I love my new TiVo.

Duracraft DY-012 Oscillating 3-Speed Tower Fan gets five stars from me. I needed to gently stir the air and placed two of the fans just beside the floor registers to broadcast the airconditioned breeze throughout the room a little better. The fans have exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with their performance!

This is probably the best accessory to buy for this camera if you want good quality audio sound for recording voice. I used it making ski movies and it picks up the voice at least 200 yards away. I also just use my ipod ear buds to hear what is being recorded instead of using a bulky headphone.

A perfect replacement for my Direct TV Tivo remote
I bought this not knowing if it would work with my Direct TV Tivo box. It works perfectly, if anything my Tivo seems a bit more responsive to remote commands. This remote is a metallic grayish=silver not the black as pictures. This was a great value @ $9.99 compaired to prices double that and more on Ebay at the time.

The DVR King of all DVRs
First, a little background. I started with a TiVo series 2 a couple years ago, but recently I've upgraded to an HD system/surround sound, so I figured it was time to upgrade my cable service so I can receive HD programming. Little did I know at the time how difficult it was for cable companies to "allow TiVo to be compatible with their system/network." They kept trying to get me to use their ...
