I was finally tired of using tapes to record my favorite TV shows. I knew that there were hard drive recorders out there, so I thought that I would give this a try.
It works great. I knew that it had issues with the title of recorded items. I wish that you could give unique titles to your recordings. Instead you are stuck with the Date and Time stamp as your title (at least until you change it yourself).
The other problem that I had with this, was when I was copying from the Hard Drive to a DVD, there was one title that wouldn't end. I called Philips, and I basically was given the run around with incorrect answers. Finally, I figured out the problem, and I just recorded it manually, and ended the recording myself.
I have only had that problem with one title. All other recordings dubbed to the DVD perfectly.
However, don't add the chapters to the recording before dubbing it to the DVD. You will have to go back and add the chapters again after they are dubbed. The title name copies over fine, but the chaptering is lost.
