Pros: Easy to use and no monthly fees! Cons: Occasionally freezes up. You need to have a phone plug near the unit.
..if you can find it. I got mine from ubid.com. It's the same as TiVo, yet with no monthly fees! It's very easy to program and I have had no problems with recording.
The 20 hour record time is fine with me. I just record regular sitcoms and a...
Pros: Makes the most of your TV system -cable, broadcast or satellite Cons: still too pricey, IR Blaster needs to be "stickier"
The Panasonic PV-HS2000 allows you to maximize your television service - whether it's cable, satellite or broadcast. It allows you to configure your TV viewing in a way that is most convenient for you. It is true - "It's just TV" - but television is...
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: Compress viewing time, built-in TV Guide, nice multi-function remote. Cons: Initial expense, remote consumes lots of batteries, how long will service last?
Let me start by saying this ultimate TV experience. I'm very glad I've got one and I'd do it again. There! With that out of the way, here are some of my gripes:
It's expensive! I paid $600 for the 30 hour model. I'm supposed to get a $100...
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: It lets your travel in time: through the time wasted by commercials, NO FEES Cons: privacy concern (like when you use Blockbuster- they know what you watching).
I waited too long to get my ShowStopper. How do I know it was too long. I know that now because the difference in price I payed now and would have payed a year ago (no subscription fee- it is included in the price) is easily compensated by the time...
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: 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: 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: 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....
I have the 2000 model (same as the 1000 except a bigger hard drive) and it's fantastic. It records as you're watching, so if you get a phone call you can just pause the show to answer the phone. Then when you come back, you just pick up where you left...
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...
