The Toshiba copy protection issue is currently being discussed on the AVS Forum's DVD Recorder forum. Here's the link to the "Copy Never" thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=623007
I would recommend the DirecTV TiVo. It records only in best quality and in Dolby Digital 5.1 when it is available. If you decide to add a DVD Recorder in the future, the picture quality of your recordings will be very good.
Hi Gunny, I think the hard drive adds flexibility. You can record to HDD or DVD. It is easier if you already have the HDD when you need it than try to add it later. I have two TiVos and I sometimes run out of space because I regularly use the “save until I delete” option. In addition...
Hi Gunny, You are welcome. Try Oades Brothers. They will price match. I have had mine for a few weeks and I love it. Depending on what you need, you may want to compare the Sony to the Panasonic, Pioneer, Toshiba and the other DVD recorders. Each recorder has its strengths and weaknesses...
The DirecTV TiVos and HD-DVRs have dual tuners. I have the Sony HX900 DVD Recorder and the quality of the recordings from my Sony T60 D-TiVos is excellent. I would not recommend a DVD/TiVo combo player because you will lose all of the cool features on your SAT-60.
I was able to pick up two 50-packs of the Sony DVD-R (1-8X) for $39.98 this afternoon. When I called Customer Service to check availability there were 19, however, by the time I got to the store there was only three or four. I noticed the Memorex –RWs are always on sale. Do any of the other...
I have two DirecTV TiVos and a DVD Recorder with a hard drive. If I had to make a choice, I would choose the TiVo for all the reasons Robert_J listed. In addition, there are issues with the poor implementation of the EPG on some DVD recorders and there may be compatibility issues with digital...
Thank you everyone for your responses. Jeff may be right about the authoring system. I should have my replacements by next week. I will post an update. Ian
I have encountered a problem with Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Spirited Away. Disc 1 (the movie) will not play on my Sony S-7000, but they are fine on my laptop. Normally, I can play DVDs other players have problems with. Are there any S-7000 owners who have had...
I preorder because it is convenient and I save the 8.5% sales tax. I combine my orders, so I receive my DVDs every couple of months or so with free shipping. I will periodically preorder a stray DVD (i.e., Metropolis (Kino)) I want on street date. The prices at the B&Ms (Tower, Virgin, BB)...
I am experiencing problems with my Pioneer CLD-D704. It starts to spin and then stops. It takes a few minutes for it to search for a chapter and to open once a LD has been inserted.
I use the CD, but I have not used the LD in some time. I have a few LDs I doubt will ever come to DVD. Any help...
A DirecTV TiVo's lifetime or monthly subscription would cover additional DirecTV TiVos. You would pay DirecTV a $4.99 mirroring fee for the additional receiver(s).
The standalone TiVo's lifetime subscription would not cover a DirecTV TiVo.

I never understood why viewers would choose NYPD over Homicide. Homicide was one of the best series on TV. NYPD is mediocre in comparison.
I have seen every episode and I would buy the entire series on DVD in a heartbeat.
