RCA DVR10 High-Definition Digital Video Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Issues with this product when used with a Mistubishi TV and OTA reception.
1.Stops recording
2.Misses recordings
3.Thinks there is a connection to TV when there is not one
4.Date time stamp incorrect for recordings
It is frustrating to use, because it does not work properly often. Then there are times it works as it should.
Technical issues aside, if you looking for TIVO or ReplayTV functionality, this is not for you. This is simple functionality similiar to a VCR, just no tapes and a hard drive instead. And there is limited capacity for HDTV only 9 hours.
I am waiting for a replacement unit from RCA to see if the technical issues are limited to my unit or if there is a general unreliability problem with this product.
If this product worked, it would be a stop gap until other products are on the market at a reasonable price.

Product Description:
The RCA DVR10 high-definition hard-disk video recorder offers the capability of recording and storing your favorite TV programs--even at full high-definition (HDTV) resolution. This 80 GB digital video recorder holds up to 9 hours of HD programming and up to 40 hours of standard-definition programming when connected to a copy-protected IEEE 1394 digital TV (including RCA Scenium sets) or set-top box. Using the built-in timer capabilities of a connected television or set-top box, the DVR10 can be triggered to record programs up to 24 hours in advance, programmed to "tape" a program daily, or set to instantly record a program in progress.
Key features include pause, fast forward, reverse, slow motion (both forward and reverse), and single-frame advance. The DVR10 also offers a variety of skip and search functions based on the IEEE 1394 commands from the controlling device. Unlike a traditional VCR, with which you have to wait for a program to finish recording before you start watching it, the DVR10 lets you pause, rewind, and play back a program as it is being recorded. Press the left arrow for an instant replay of the last 7 seconds or the right arrow to jump ahead 30 seconds.
The back of the DVR10 has two 6-pin DTVLink (IEEE 1394) ports and an AC power-cord connector. Devices using the IEEE 1394 interface can be connected to either port. Devices certified as DTVLink use the same IEEE 1394 interface but also include advanced copy protection schemes to send and receive encrypted or copy-protected content. The IEEE 1394 interface also lets you control the DVR10's record and playback functions right from the remote control for your television.
What's in the Box
