Negative Positive
Title: Check with your cable provider first!
Review: There is a pretty glaring error with this product that makes it nearly useless for a lot of people: it doesn't work with some cable providers. I have cable from Charter Communications. My TV has to stay on channel 4, while I control the cable channels through the cable box. But the Philips DVD Recorder doesn't know about the cable channels; it only knows about channel 4 on the TV. That means you can't use the VCR codes to schedule recordings. You also can't record something if you're not already watching it. The whole purpose of the DVD Recorder is negated.The one positive I can offer is that Electronics Expo didn't give me any hassle in returning it, so I only ended up having to pay for the shipping.
Is the review positive or negative?
