We got this a couple years ago. I started out buying a DVD recorder. I messed around with it for about a day. I learned that it recorded in dvd- format and couldn't be played on some of the dvd players in my house. I returned that dvd recorder. I bought another dvd recorder that used dvd+ format. Worked great on my dvd players, but I realized that I would be constantly changing dvds, labeling them, trying to find them etc. so, I returned that one. Finally decided to spend the extra money on the DVR/DVD recorder. I'm really glad I did. This unit has been great. Not perfect, but has plenty of recording time, nice thumbnail previews of recorded shows, Ways to sort shows by type. I've never had problems with the burned dvds. It has reasonable editing features, It's nice to be able to cut out inappropriate scenes or commercials at your descretion. Works with vcrPlus codes, which are a pain to program, but convenient once in there. Programming manually isn't even that hard once you get the hang of it. Overall Good Unit, I'd recommend it, but I'd also want to check out some of the new models coming out.
