Panasonic Combined DVD-R & PVR Device

Raetsel writes "Caught a commercial the other day hawking the device I've been waiting for. TIVO is a great idea, but what if you want to keep something more permanently? Enter the Panasonic DMR-series. The top-of-the-line DMR-HS2 ($1000 US) has a 40 GB hard drive, offers "Time Slip Playback" (TIVO's "pause live TV" function), and allows you to move shows off the hard drive onto DVD. Heck, you can even record straight to DVD-R or DVD-RAM discs (which is what the $700 DMR-E30(K/S) does). There's also a IEEE-1394 input, so you can record from sources that have a FireWire output. Oh, yeah... it's a progressive-scan DVD player, too."

I have one of these by ender_wiggins · 2002-10-28 03:20 · Score: 0, Flamebait

It has changed my tv life! I record simpsons and cut out the commericals twice a day, and slap 4 hours onto one dvd. Its great, pricy but great. There is a upgrade to 80gb drive available in the far east, but is not available here. I wish someone would fix that problem.
