The only real problem I have had with this unit is that it requires the TV Guide channel for its programming info, and a week after I got it, my cable company announced that they were cutting the TV guide channel on everything but digital cable. If I upgrade to digital cable, I get a DVR from them for an extra $5 a month, so my unit may soon be obsolete. So that may be something to check into. br /That being said, I really enjoy this DVR. It has changed the way that I watch TV. I don't think that I have actually watched a commercial since I bought it. Very nice. I find the controls to be intuitive, but I'm a bit of a techie. My wife can't really figure them out, so I guess it is not easy for everyone. br /People have said that it is noisy, but I don't notice it at all. The DVD recorder is another nice feature, I use it more than I thought I would. br /The only thing that I don't like is that navigating the TV Guide listings sometimes lags quite a bit and can be slow and tedious. However, all the different seach options speed it up quite a bit and are great. br /Overall, it is a very fun toy. I give it two thumbs up!

Purchased my unit at the end of November, and recv'd in good order from Amazon. Everything seems to be working fine (I haven't tried working w/the DVD-Ram yet, or burning to disc), with one exception. I have encountered a problem w/Network Navigation. It won't work with Internet Explorer 7. I phoned Customer Service and was told that an update to resolve this issue wasn't even in works. Perhaps they are waiting for Vista, but as this seems to be the Toshiba HDD-DVD flagship, and IE7 has been out for a while now, I feel like this should have been addressed before now. The Unit itself would have recv'd 4 stars (it is fairly complicated), but this issue drops my rating, as this was one of the features I was looking forward to using. So before you spend a day crawling around in your attic to run a network cable (like I did), check your browser. br /
