    We just need to get some high-definition digital broadcasting that's worth watching.

    It's an ordinary DVD recorder with a largish amount of disk in it.

    And here I was thinking that it can write a terabyte to a optical disk. Oh well...

    What is the price of media for these things?

    The article pointed out that the US market seems more interested in DVRs, than DVD Recorders and I agree with that assessment. Most of the TV I record is throw-away stuff that I want to watch for a couple times and then delete.
