"Mediocre Product"
Pros: Great recording and editing capabilities
Cons: Noisy HDD when EPG is loaded, unpredictable timer recording modes, clock needs to be adjusted weekly
Summary: Once the EPG from TV Guide have been fully loaded, there is major grinding noise from the HDD. I can hear it about 10 ft away from the unit, even with the TV and air conditioning on.
Once a week I have to readjust the clock because it becomes too slow by a minute or two. Even the clock I bought from the Dollar Store doesn't deviate that much.
Using timer-recording, sometimes it records SP program in LP and vice versa.
Oh, I use Pioneer DVR-533 and DVR-633, they both have the same problem.
