DVR 1600 DVD Recorder

 

The CyberHome DVR1600 is measures just over 13.7 by 9 by 1.7 inches. And at a mere $115, it won't take a chunk out of your wallet, either.

We wouldn't recommend the DVR1600 for general use, but its low cost and small size make it adequate as a second recorder for light use. Just don't expect to be able to set up recordings quickly with the awkward remote

Consumer review (newegg.com)

15 months not a problem

 

if you ever run into any problems with the display on the machine it's self just unplug it for a few seconds and it reboots and works just as good as new, have only had to do this twice in 15 months. not a big deal.

does what it says it will do, not fancy but a great deal for what it costs

little or none, there is a hiss but I record mostly sporting events so that is not that noticable
