I have finally decided to get a dvd recorder and am looking for some opinions on a few players. I have been looking at these and was wondering if anyone has any feedback on them. here are the recorders:
Toshiba RD-XS52

Panasonic DMR-E95HS

Sony RDR-HX900

I definately want a recorder with an HDD which all the above do.
the Sony is more versatile(in regards to media choice) since it can use DVD-R/+R and DVD-RW/+RW while the Toshiba ans Panasonic only use DVD-RAM 0r DVD-R. has anyone successfully used a DVD-RW in either the Toshiba or Panasonic?
the Panasonic has 1 problem that I'm not sure would be major or not. it appears to have a problem downloading guide data through Motorola HD boxes(which I currently have).
the Toshiba has HDMI with video upconversion to 720p or 1080i.
if you were going to pick one of these units which would you get and why? is there a different unit you would suggest other than the ones listed?
