Philips DVDR3575H/37 (160 GB) DVD Recorder / HDD Recorder

The Bottom Line: Don't expect plug and play. Know your expectations prior to purchase. Be prepared to study. Have a tech savvy friend or patience with customer service if you're techphobic.

Review: UPDATE: I have now owned it for 10 weeks and have NO defects to report. I still have no complaints except, as mentioned originally, it is not an intuitive machine and the manual has to be kept close if you want to be innovative, change quality of...

The Bottom Line: I think is good

Review: Good morning, I'm Italian and I hope you understand and enjoy my reviews!

I have bought recently and him as reader it has some good performances. To install it not is simple but at the end I have made her. How excellent aesthetics indeed...

The Bottom Line: Excellent product *if* you've defined your needs accurately. I'd buy a 2nd one. Good stuff.

The Bottom Line: Good product, bad return policy. Stay away from this recorder and stay away from Philips.

Review: This is a good product. Functional and easy to use. I just happen to get a defective one. My complaint is not with the recorder but with Philips' return policy which in my opinion is dishonest.

After set-up I noticed that timed recordings...

The Bottom Line: Hands down the best ATSC recorder I have tried and should do until stand alone high def recorders come out. Three hundred bucks well spent.

Review: This unit, purchased a couple of weeks ago, is the sixth ATSC DVD recorder I've owned in 2007. The first five went back; this one, at least so far, is a keeper.

I get television strictly via over-the-air, as opposed to cable or satellite...

The Bottom Line: Get one of these and throw out your VCR!

Review: I have been wanting a TIVO that works off the air for a few years now. That and the fact that my VCR broke in the summer of 2006, and I wasn't going to get another one with an analog tuner with the digital TV being just around the corner. So I...
