Picked up this HD DVR to work with my Toshiba 42HP95 plasma screen.First the good things.It works seemlessly with the TV Guide On Screen guide. I know there were problems with the TV Guide in the 2004 Toshiba TVs but so far I haven't had any problems with mine and the one touch recording and future recording capabilites work well.The DVR also records HD programming.That alone was worth the money.I was paying $20/month for that capability from the cable company.So for the basic stuff it works well.
What it doesn't do well.I knew before purchasing this that it didn't have an internal tuner.The DVR works in conjuntion with the TV's tuner.What that means is that if you're recording a program you cannot even change the input on the TV.The other problems I've found is that while you're recording a program you can't even pause live TV or watch a previously recorded program.The latter I'm assuming is because there is no built in tuner.I can see that I won't be retiring my ReplayTVs yet but at least it gives me an option when I want to record an HD program.
