Price Paid:  $120.00 from Buyessex (booted eba

Summary:
I bought this with limited expectations. It is a consumer grade electronics in the mold of 80s VHS recorders. It has a TV tuner, VCR+, and DVD+R/+RW capabilities. I use it to record TV show on RWs and watch netflix movies. Honestly is feature rich but very clunky. Video picture and Audio are OK. Often Netflix are brought to another TV to finish. Switch between chapters on DVDs is very slow. Probably be downgraded to a secondary player but will keep the recorder capabilities

Strengths:
Vey easy to program and set up and manual is almost unnecessary. VCR+ and timer functions are very well put together.

Component Out from analog cable is possible.

Records on the fly TV or unprotected DVD

The fact that all these functions work at 120 usd is impressive.

Weaknesses:
Performance with Netflix movies is worst I have seen.

Switching chapters on DVDs is painful and aggrivating when it stalls. I am under the impression many mass produces DVD players are cheapened up.
