Anonymous | I live in New Zealand and we don't have Replay TV etc however I want to know which DVR you recommend for recording TV. Can the hard drive be upgraded? Is the image better than say recording to a computer with a top video card? Thanks in advance for your help. |

There was an article in a computer monthly magazine titled "Hacking TiVO". But to do so on a new unit will definitely void any warranty. If you found a used one on ebay or somewhere, you might want to research the hack. IF you come up blank I can look through my "magazine ripped out page archive" but that's a manual process. I think it was in Maximum PC, (but I'm getting older and can't be sure without finding the article). |

A recorder w/hard drive is what I have been looking at. Please give me some brand & model names/#'s that are in the $2K ballpark. Also, can these units record vinyl records, cassetes,reel-to-reel tape to CD-R? |
