Title: Panasonic DMR-E95HS
Review: I bought this unit second hand because Panasonic unfortunately no longer manufactures it. (I already own a DMR-E85HS and am familiar with its capabilities.) This particular unit has one flaw: it hangs up on an attempt to view a program when is busy recording. One is supposed to be able to view other recorded programs, or the beginning of a program currently recording, while the unit records. Editing programs and transfering programs from the hard drive to a DVD-R disk is possible as well. The hard drive has more than enough space to record whatever is necessary. It does not record high definition programs in high definition, though.The unit also has a "TV Guide" feature, by which it downloads program data from the cable or satellite server. This simplifies setting a schedule of programs to record, and is apparently a popular feature on the unit. I wish there would be a way to turn off the downloading while still retaining the ability of the recorder to control the cable box.
Is the review positive or negative?
