WOW amazing,
By Mrs. Danielle Harrison "nursedannie79" (Key Largo, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Toshiba Consumer (TV/DVD/etc) RS-TX60 160GB DVDR w Tivo
If you want a product that is going to record all of your childrens favorite movies and TV episodes this is it.I would record the whole series of my favorite shows and would save all that money from buying it when it came out, or favorite episodes of blues clues, wiggles, and my childrens other favorite shows just by a click of a button, and then record it to the DVD and take it on trips with me. I saved so much money by doing this wonderful product and the tivo service came free with it WOW hope this helps anyone looking into this

I bought this unit hoping that I would be able to save my favorite shows to DVD. Unfortunately, the recording quality is so poor, you would be better off using a VCR. The only format worth viewing is their BEST format, wich will only allow you to save about 45 hrs on the HDD or 1 hr onto a DVD. If your movie is even 1 min longer, you have to split the movie onto 2 discs. The RS-TX60 will not let you edit out any portion of the recording nor let you put in any user chapter breaks. If you have saved a movie on the HDD in BEST format, you cannot change to a lower format to fit the movie to the DVD disc (not that you would want to use a lower format). If you set the DVR to record at a lower quality, you will also have to watch live TV at the lower quality as well because you're never really watching live TV, your really watching what the DVR recorded a 1/2 second ago. The rest of the TIVO system is great, the ability to watch a DVD or pre-recorded show while the unit is recording something else is nice. You can even watch TV or pre-recorded shows while recording to DVD. If you only subscibe to basic TIVO it takes about 1 hr to record a full DVD. If you subscibe to the TIVO service, they upgrade your software to allow 24 min recordings. I have had a few times that the TIVO guide was wrong on the times that a show aired, and it recorded something else, and the "Season Pass" will sometimes be tricked into not recording an episode if the new showing has the same title as one previously recorded, but generally I like the TIVO service.MY recomendation, is to by a TIVO box if you want those features, and get a seperate DVD recorder. |
