Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $159.00 from www.walmart.com

Summary:
Horrible, Horrible, Horrible! I bought this to archive items off my Digital Video Recorder (Moxi) - box continues to lock up AFTER patching (which should have corrected it) and when the box locks up you create a COASTER, reguardless of what else you have saved on the disk.

Strengths:
lots of inputs, if you don't have any coasters, this will make them...

Weaknesses:
not easy to use, poor troubleshooting instructions in manual, poor FAQ info on website. Patch does not fix problems and of course one screw up and you lose any previously recorded items.

Similar Products Used:
Will probably be exchanging this for the ILO brand recorder, the Aspire 8091 is definitely not worth the $150... at this point I think a video capture card in my computer would work better.
