Our old(er) Samsung DVD recorder bit the dust and we needed a new (cheap) one ASAP, as our DVR was pretty close to full..
Brought this little wonder home today and it's darn near perfect. Setup was a snap, and it's so far worked flawlessly. As it has no tuner it does need to be connected to a device that has one, but our DVR through DirecTV has one, so no problems.
One previous reviewer gave the unit poor marks due to the lack of a tuner, but my experience today was that it was noted on the website, the info card on the shelf, AND it's printed on the box of the unit - I don't think it deserved that one-star rating.
One minor gripe - after recording titles on a DVD, the interface for naming those titles is very clunky - a lot like texting from a phone with no keyboard and no intuitive word completion. A very minor gripe, and for a unit at this price, it's easily overlooked.
