Review title: Unreliable and disappointing
Product review: I should have known better than to buy another Philips DVDR after all the problems I had with my first one. Color me stupid, I guess.The first program I recorded on the HD ended up getting corrupted. Unfortunately, that was a continuing trend. The software tends to crash, and the only way to reset is to unplug it, which would often result in more corrupted files.To be honest, I only had one problem with the timer, and that was remedied by reseting the software to defaults.The DVD burner worked fine at first, but know it won't even read half the disks I have, even disks it burned itself.I've only had it six months, and I'm already looking to replace it. I expected more from a 400-dollar piece of equipment. My 50-dollar off-brand VCR has outlasted not one but TWO Philips DVDRs. That can't be good.
