Philips DVDR3575H/37 (160 GB) DVD Recorder / HDD Recorder

if you use a roof top antenna for your tv channels this is the CLEAR ticket ! I have two of these and are great for recording shows( his & hers ) in crystal clear picture unlike when recorded to vcr. watch those shows whenever you want in the same high quality picture as the day it was on.
only thing that would make these things better would be universal remote for the tv volume and a second tuner to be able to watch a different channel when recording another ... you can though watch a previously recorded show on the hard drive while it is recording as well . very easy to use , easy to edit and delete commercials/ unwanted parts or fast forward skip chapters.
36hrs-198hrs of recording, just depends how good of picture quality you want HQ , SP , SPP are all great picture quality and you shouldn't ever have to worry about not having enough room for your shows! if you do you need to watch less tv .
anyway I like it , I wanted astc tuner for over-the-air broadcast that recorded to a hard drive with clear digital picture, hdmi output for hdtv & 1080p upconvert for dvd movies to near HD quality ...oh ya, has the ability to pause ,rewind , fast forward live tv like tivo without the fee
thats all the one finger pok'n I can stand , hope it helps one person out there then my job is DONE !
