If you have the money to waste, CyberHome products is your one stop shop. The CH-DVR1500 recorder is easily outclassed by any cheap AM portable radio. Any blank disc inserted into the machine will automatically go to the format mode (even if it pre-formatted) and hang up until the power is turned off. Tried five different brands of blank DVD's with the same result. Never got the chance to record anything. The playback mode with pre-recorded discs gives a mostly fuzzy picture. The built-in channel tuner didn't recognize 12 cable channels so the unit just bypassed them during setup. I have never in my life been so disappointed with a purchase. Even more disappointed with customer service. It is mostly non-existent and if you manage to get a human voice you are more than likely talking to someone less useful than used egg shells. The only comfort I got out of this machine was when I took my 20lb sledge hammer to it.
