Please don’t offer anything without a digital tuner if it’s a VCR or a TV set on Amazon. These units are worthy only for donating to Goodwill.

Works better than most dvd recorders I’ve used. Have never had any problems with it. In fact I have two of them and love them.

We’ve had two of these recorders in a row. First one lasted seven months, second one lasted ten months. With both, we started getting DVD disc error messages “Cannot record on this disc.” Of course, we got the message AFTER “recording” a program, so: a) we wasted our time, b} we lost the recording. We record a lot, and probably ran 300 discs through the last one. On both machines, this started out as an occasional problem, and then kicked into high gear, where nothing could be recorded on DVD. VHS works fine (who cares?) They were both DVD brand finicky–working only with Maxell discs. Now, no brand works. Smartest thing we did was to invest an extra twenty bucks for an extended warranty (this at a Fred Meyer store.) We keep all our machines meticulously clean and run a cleaning disc once a week. The extended warranty is essentially a side bet that you believe the machine WILL die. It’s a good idea and well worth the investment, because: a) the machine WILL break, and b) you can bet on it. Oh, and we now buy only Verbatim brand discs. Another good investment.
