DVR question
by thepoetrydude - 4/19/04 2:18 PMHello, is there a DVR(digital Video Recorder) in which I can use without a service like tivo? I want one that works like my vcr, just records digitally. I don't mind manually setting the timer, if it would allow me to do that.
Is there something like this out there?
Thanks.

YES
by Jay M - 4/20/04 11:08 AM In reply to: DVR question by thepoetrydudeYes there are several DVRs available now. Panasonic makes a number of them. I own the Panasonic DMR-E30. It records DVD-R from cable, or from your VHS tapes and I find the quality extremely good. It's barely harder to use than a VCR: you set the timer exactly the same way. It knows if there is room on a disc for your program. There is no danger of "taping over" something, as with VHS. You can also record with DVD-RAM, which is re-recordable.
If you do want the hard-drive capability, there are models with that.

Take a look at these; there are other as well. Good hunting.
DVR with Manual timers
by dawoodcat - 8/1/06 7:14 AM In reply to: DVR question by thepoetrydudeMy job is in the Satellite broadcasting of educational materials world of technology. We sell a receiver that works on the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) format for setting "on/off" timers. We do not carry/sell a DVR that has the capability to have the user/customer to set timers manually. We are looking for the same technology as the old VCR's. It has been very frustrating to find units that fit this bill. I chose to respond in this already started chat. Can we start a list of units that work and have a proven positive track record? I would like to start the list with.....
-JVC DR-MH305. 160GB/32 Manual Timers.
-Phillips DVDR3455H/37. 160GB/20 Manual Timers.
We could possibly add prices and vendors to the list. I not sure if we need to go there though.
Thanks,
Dan W.
