What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: Consistently doesn't record video, only audio
I bought this to record TV shows when I wasn't home. Mostly I just get the audio and occasionally I actually get video. I have tried every type of connection.
What a waste of money

Don't be fooled. This is just a little better than a cheap player in that it records DVD. It is 480, NOT 1080. It does not do 1080 upconversion. It does do 480 progressive output if your TV supports it. If your TV doesn't have progressive, don't use it as it will blur/distort the picture. It works, just be careful you know what you're getting (get it if your TV is 480) for the money because for just a bit more, you could have 1080 (should get if you have a 1080 TV and want the better viewing experience). This is a refurbished unit and priced as such but even if it was a brand new unit, I would not pay this price.

What's great about it: Does exactly what it says
What's not so great: You can only record and watch 1 channel at a time
I saw this product online and I figured if it did not work as adverstised I would just return it and get something else. I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up and how great it works! I mainly use it when I am tired and need to get to sleep but don't want to miss a show so the ease of the one touch recording is great. The program recording also works very easily. To get the most out of this player I recommend that you use RW+ discs, and use the audio cables along with the R,G,B cables (total of 5 cables) to get the best sound and picture quality. I have this recorder connected to my FIOS box and the TV and it works like a charm. Some things to remember; you can only watch the channel you are recording, and if you have FIOS or other cable and you set timer recordings, you must remember to turn off the TV only and not the cable/satellite box or you will only record a blank screen. Overall this a great product to watch and record on and I would recommend it to people.
