Overall a great tool, but with one serious flaw

 

I love this recorder, and replaced the previous version of this recorder. It does have one greatly annoying feature, and that is how slow the menu is to react to the commands one enters. I believe this Magnavox might be the only recorder available on...

Magnavox DVR is Super -

 

We have been using this DVR for about 5 years and just love it. We don't want to pay for any additional services, Just use it for recording our TV shows. Both the DVR recorder/player and DVD player have worked flawlessly. I give this a big 5 Stars

Does do as advertised

 

The specs on this recorder doesn't shed light on how outdated it is. Magnavox doesn't tell you in the specs it only records to DVD+R and not DVD-R discs which is a totally different format. It also left out until you read the manual that the 1 tb hard...

FUNCTIONS WELL BUT NOT FEATURE RICH

 

I also own older Magnavox DVD Tuner/Recorders with smaller hard-drives. The unformatted disks used to be interchangeable between models but not with this model. An unfortunate change. The older model's remotes are much better than the new model & I...

Single Tuner, Low Def

 

Watch out: Single Tuner and Low Def Single tuner means you have to choose between recording a show or watching a show with rewind and pause, you cant have both at once. If you want to record a show and watch another show without pause/rewind, you will...

Like a VHS recorder without any tape

 

Have enjoyed quite a few of these marvelous no tape recording devices over the years. Subscribed to many cable and satellite services thus far, that offered a data recording device as part of the package, and found them to be super for watching...
