Title: Great Idea. Poor Result. A "Video MP3" Player that Wouldn't
Review: Imagine buying a MP3 player that will not allow you to record/playback copyrighted material. Well that is exactly what RCA has released- a "video MP3" player that will not allow you to record any copyrighted material. I thought it would be great to record some of my DVD's to this device so that I could watch them on the road just like I listen to my CD's on the road with an MP3 player but witout that capability the Lyra is useless to me and I imagine most other people. I did however record some shows off of the TV as a test and the results were very acceptable although the picture would freeze on occasion. Also the user interface is very clunky. I am sure other manufacturers will improve on this idea in the near future.
Is the review positive or negative?
