Pros: Time saving, no subscription service, easy to use, program description. Cons: Expensive and it puts out a lot of heat.
I purchased this unit approximately two years ago. I had read about the technology in a magazine and became intrigued and took a look at a couple of units. I was originally going to purchase a Tivo unit because it was more popular, but I was turned off...
Pros: Read the review... too many to mention here! Cons: Only 1 Week of future programming available
The Showstopper has changed my life!
I recently purchased Panasonic's 30 hour Showstopper, featuring ReplayTV. I had hesitated for about six months because of the price. The unit was $599 + tax ($45) - $100 rebate, ultimately leaving me with...
Pros: Zaps ads fast, no monthly fees, easy recording Cons: Ominous-sounding copy protection circuitry (no problems so far)
This is a review of the Panasonic PV-HS3000 which has more (60 hours) recording time, otherwise it's the same as the 1000 model hard disk recorder. Even though it's a Panasonic, the device uses the ReplayTV software system. My favorite feature is the...
Pros: No longer a slave to TV schedule
No subscription fee
$100 Rebate! Cons: Can't tape two shows at same time
IR Blasters suck
Model discontinued (will service?)
Ok, I'm going to just lay this out on the table immediately. I love this product. Like seriously love. No, I'm not talking about the love I feel my second cousin or my goldfish, but more like the love I felt for my first girlfriend, or for Heather...
Pros: Recording ease, time saver, You're in full control Cons: Recording times aren't exact, retail price
I must admit, I'm somewhat of a TV junkie and even more so, a tech/gadget junkie. When I first saw the advertisements for ReplayTV I knew I would get one someday. Then I found out the price. I had considered getting Tivo, which is ReplayTV's competitor...
Pros: Easy to set up and use. Cons: Can't think of a single one!
When I first heard of the concept of ReplayTV I thought, as many do, that it was a fancy VCR. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It's strength lies not in the ability to set a timer to record, but in the way it records what you tell it to. As...
Pros: Watch TV Your Way Cons: Can't store shows long-term
Last October I bought a Panasonic Showstopper with Replay TV service for my bedroom. This past April, I bought a second one for the living room. I cannot imagine watching TV without it.
My TV-viewing life changed when I went to a large...
Pros: Quick 30 Second Skip, High quality option, web enabled communication, no monthly fee Cons: Hardware not upgradeable- yet
I bought the showstopper from a web site and ended up paying $399 for it (8/00)- and it is awesome. I opted for the ReplayTV for two reasons- 1) a CNET radio personal highly recommended it and 2) no subscription fees! I'm not much of a TV fan but the few...
Pros: Ease of use, it WILL change your television viewing experience Cons: Too...much...TV...to...watch!!!
Remember the change in your television habits when you got your first VCR? ReplayTV is a jump of the same magnitude. This device, for better or worse, has changed the way I watch television!
The Panasonic ShowStopper, based on the ReplayTV...
Pros: Great ease of recording shows Cons: Incomplete explanation of RJ11 to Serial Port Adapter; Price
If you've read the other reviews, you know the "basics" of what the PV-HS2000 offers. I want to point out a particular headache I had when installing the product, so others will spend considerably less time scratching their heads.
Pros: Incredible number of features, easy to use, great recording quality, no more video tapes! Cons: Sometimes records the wrong channel because the IR Blaster port acts up.
Well, it was about time for me to get a new VCR. I don't have much time anymore to watch TV, and I can't stand to miss the latest episodes of Friends, MTV soaps, or Frasier. My parents had given me their old Mitsubishi VCR, but it recorded...
Pros: Most revolutionary gizmo since TV itself. Cons: Can't see PPV on Direct TV
I bought the Panasonic PVHS2000 because of ReplayTV reviews and the lack of a monthly fee for the program guide associated with TiVo. My comments are about the 30 hour model used with a DirectTV dish.
Pros: Pausing Live TV; Menu Guide; No Monthly Fees Cons: A Little Pricey
The Showstopper is in my opinion, a terrific product. Yes, it is a little pricey, but its worth it to me. Anyone that watches a fair amount of tv should consider the Showstopper. Once you try it, it will be very difficult to go back to normal tv. I...
This is one of the best purchases that I have made this year.
If you enjoy watching a little TV, but can't stand watching all the advertisements and fillers and titles,etc then you need one of these.
It's basically a computer that stores TV...
Pros: Easy Recording and Channel listings a week ahead Cons: Expensive for the casual TV watcher and storage is limited on this model
The Panasonic PV-HS1000 is the perfect integration of computer technology into a home theater component. It allows you to record any show with the push of one button. With qualities that vary from VHS to DVD depending on how important a show is to you....
