Title: Does not work with Directv receiver
Review: The "built in HD tuner" does NOT work with satellite Directv. It took me hours to discover this. A couple of hours on the Sony tech webchat (two levels of support) and finally referred to telephone support in order to find this out. The recorder can only operate via the satellite receiver's tuner which severely restricts the recording possibilities.I was unable to find this information anywhere in the literature or in the manuals.The "built in HD tuner" may well work with a cable system, but it was unsatisfactory for my use. The lack of this information upfront is what merits this item a single star.
