Pros: Time saving, no subscription service, easy to use, program description.
Cons: Expensive and it puts out a lot of heat.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Easy to use and no monthly fees!
Cons: Occasionally freezes up. You need to have a phone plug near the unit.
Summary: ..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 ... read more

Pros: Free TV listings; Easy interface ; Web Control of your home VCR !!
Cons: 'Unable to connect' several days in a row- eventually corrects itself.
Summary: The biggest benefit I've achieved is that 30-minute sitcoms now typically take me 16 minutes to watch after skipping commercials and the boring parts.
1 hour shows - about 37 minutes.
Main complaint is that the unit doesn't connect ... read more

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?)
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: 30 sec commercial skip / 8 sec replay button, no monthly charge, internet record
Cons: Difficult setup with certain cable boxes and cable networks, sometimes needs resetting, customer service
Summary: This unit allows me to watch TV on my own time and not at the networks mercy. 30 minute shows are reduced to less than 20 minutes, because I am able to quickly skip the commercials with the handy 30 sec skip button. So I can watch 3 shows in 1 hour ... read more

Pros: Channel Guide, Pause Live TV
Cons: Runs hot, Addictive
Summary: My wife has confirmed me a tech junkie and the purchase of a Replay TV reaffirmed that label once I realized few people at work had one or knew exactly how it worked. She thought that it would be another needless expense for my collection of gadgets, ... read more

Pros: Watch TV Your Way
Cons: Can't store shows long-term
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Records your favorite shows for you all week, pause live tv
Cons: Setup is a little long.
Summary: I bought the replay tv one week ago. I love everything about it.
I am a big reality tv watcher and it was always a pain to set the VCR every time I went to work. Now all I have to do is press a few buttons and it will tape my show every time ... read more

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).
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Zaps ads fast, no monthly fees, easy recording
Cons: Ominous-sounding copy protection circuitry (no problems so far)
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: TV - when you want it, how you want it.
Cons: Poor design architecture, and very poor forethought put into design.
Summary: This review is for the Panasonic PV-HS 2000, not the 1000.
This product is an excellent example of a product that was made 90% of the way, and the remainder of the details were ignored. In general, the product works well, but with some very ... read more

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?
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Ease of use, it WILL change your television viewing experience
Cons: Too...much...TV...to...watch!!!
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Quick 30 Second Skip, High quality option, web enabled communication, no monthly fee
Cons: Hardware not upgradeable- yet
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Makes the most of your TV system -cable, broadcast or satellite
Cons: still too pricey, IR Blaster needs to be "stickier"
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great ease of recording shows
Cons: Incomplete explanation of RJ11 to Serial Port Adapter; Price
Summary: 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: Most revolutionary gizmo since TV itself.
Cons: Can't see PPV on Direct TV
Summary: 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.
Basically, I think the hard disk recorder ... read more

Pros: Watch at your time not the networks
Cons: wrong schedule
Summary: I decide it was time to enter the world of digital recording. I had seen tivo but I did not want to have to pay an one time service fee or a monthly service fee. The Replay system has no fees. You just hook it up and connect it to the phone line and it ... read more

Pros: Easy to set up and use.
Cons: Can't think of a single one!
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Recording ease, time saver, You're in full control
Cons: Recording times aren't exact, retail price
Summary: 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 ... read more
