Title: It works, but keep shopping
Product review: We had the prior model (the 3550, I believe), and it was far more user-friendly and had better features. But, it developed a problem with the outputs and had to go. We were not impressed with Philips and how the warranty issues were handled, but we were hooked on the HDD DVR. There are so few on the market that we decided to give them another chance with this one (plus the upconversion and HDMI are nice). But, BEWARE. This one now has a glitch in the output, causing it to flicker and then have a line of off-set picture scroll about 1/3 of the way up the screen. Obviously we are not pleased. I don't know what the deal is with this, and if you need an HDD DVR I'm not sure what the other options are. But, consider these repetitive output issues with the Philips and consider other options.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
