cnet writes “On paper, Philips’s new DVR-DVD recorder looks like the ideal combination. Boasting a 120GB hard drive, the slick-looking HDRW720 pauses and rewinds live video and archives your shows to DVD+R/+RW.
Unfortunately, the deck comes saddled with some crippling limitations, including an electronic programming guide (EPG) that won’t work with digital cable or satellite receivers, needlessly arcane onscreen menus, and the inability to record directly to DVD. If you’re looking for a DVR/DVD recorder combo with a working EPG, steer clear of the Philips and try the TiVo-enabled Humax DRT800 or the Toshiba RS-TX20 instead.”
