Editorial Review: Product Description: This Digital Media Recorder provides over 170 hours of program recording in Super Extended Play mode and allows easy programming via the on-screen program guide powered by TV Guide. The TV Guide on-screen guide provides a full weeks worth of viewing information for every cable channel that is carried on your basic tier. Chase playback allows you to watch ANY program that you have already recorded while a program is being recorded on the hard drive. It will even carry listings for your digital channels but you must have a digital cable box to record those channels. This DMR also allows you to burn your true favorites onto DVD for archival purposes. The remote control for this machine can also be programmed to control your TV to help cut down on remote control clutter! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pioneer DVR-531HSBought the unit about 3 years ago. It rarely if ever finds the TV Guide. It will constantly cycles through the cable box looking for the TV Guide channel. If you wish to manually change the clock, you have to do a COMPLETE setup of the entire unit. So, if you have the TV Guide channels reordered to your liking, you have to do everything from scratch. The clock on the set does not always match the clock on the recorder (sometimes there is an hour difference... sometimes not... I always start prescheduled ... Read More Rating:  - Where are they now?We bought ours at Wal-Mart two years ago, and paid under $400. Haven't seen them, or anything with a hard drive since. It works great, as advertised. We'll record a show on the hard drive, and if we want to save it, burn a DVD copy. It works like a TIVO for watching a show as it's being recorded, then pausing, fast-fwd, etc. So why aren't these on the shelves any more, and can only be found for $1200 new? Rating:  - One of the best gifts I ever got!My husband bought this pioneer dvr for me almost 2 years ago. At first I was questioning the cost. I had one 2 dvd recorders and hated how slow they were so I went back to a vcr. The product has become a part of my everyday life and as silly as it sounds made life better. First, there are no fees and compared the what my friends get with the paid subscrition I see little difference. I have the dvr set to record my favorite daily and weekly shows. It is easy to to set the recording. basically ... Read More Rating: - Really good product for the moneyThe only problem that I have had with mine is that sometimes it takes weeks for the TV Guide to download. But usually everything is up and running fine. It records your favorite shows for you everyday to let you watch them at your leisure. The best thing about it compared to a VCR is that it keeps a record of the title, channel, date and time of every show you record so you can go through the menu and pick out the ones you want to watch. I burned 20 episodes of the Simpsons to a single ... Read More Rating: - listings died right after the warranty ran outThis was a great unit, lots of great features for recording to hard drive and copying to DVD. But shortly after the warrany ran out the TV Guide function stopped working. Not just a download problem, which it encountered every month or so, but that whole function won't even load now. Can't even schedule recording mannually because that's integrated into TVG as well. Pioneer wants me to ship it to them and pay $70 to figure out IF they can fix it. I've been very happy with other Pioneer gear I own, but the the TVG function ... Read More |
