Outdated!
(1 out of 5) by Eric on Aug 8, 2007 (France & USA)Nobody should be selling DVD recorders anymore without ATSC tuners. They'll shortly be obsolete when analogue TV stops broadcasting.
Philips has a new version of this product WITH an ATSC tuner, but it has crippled it to the extent that it will not play PAL disks, as previous models did. Why?
Otherwise, it is unfortunately almost impossible to find a DVD recorder with a hard disk and ATSC tuner in the USA (Polaroid probably the only other now). WHY???!!! Panasonic and other simply stopped putting hard disks in the DVRs, yet having one is the only way to go.

PHILIPS DVD RECORDER W/HARD DISC
(5 out of 5) by Benjamin Fuchs on Jan 9, 2007 (Caracas, Venezuela)Very good choice. With this one, just forget about changing VHS tapes when recording TV series. With the 160 GB hard disc, it has virtually unlimited recording space. Then delete what you do not need and burn a DVD to keep what you want.
