Current Crop Of HDTV Recorders Compared

Posted by timothy on from the always-three-steps-behind dept.

rbrander links to this "nice review of all the HDTV Recorders from the Washington Post: DirecTV's based on the TiVo wins for best interface, but Dish Network's gets a few nods. There's also a nice swipe ('...spectacularly stupid decision') at JVC's for allowing only (copy-protected) Firewire input to the one HDTV tape recorder on the market."

    Right, and you can record normal TV in black and white, but why would you want to? :)

    Future models will have to support DRM via a broadcast flag. :-(

    Hopefully the broadcast flag will prove every bit as effective as CSS.
