There are numerous quality settings for you to choose from when you are recording from TV which means you can optimise the use of the internal hard drive. The quality of the recordings are fantastic and i was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to transfer the recordings from the hard drive onto a DVD, just a single click and it was done.

I received this as a gift several months ago, and I think it is an excellent product. I have played various different DVD's on it and I have yet to encounter any compatibility issues. The DivX playback (which is a form of encoding for video files, often seen as ".avi" on your computer) allows you to write upto 4gb of video on a normal DVD, which in terms of minutes is around 6 hours depending on quality, a vast increase over the amount of hours you can fit on a normal DVD without DivX playback.

I have yet to find any major disadvantages with this recorder, the only minor blemishes with this product, are the load time when you have pressed the on/off button, this may be down to my lack of patience though!! And also the first time i turned the unit on i found it difficult to find how to watch the tv, as the cables run through the recorder and you have to cycle through the "sources" on it to find your TV channel, but after I realised how this worked it became simple and although it may seem a little confusing in words, in practice it is much more obvious i believe. Also the instructions you receive with the product are concise and if you have any problems with it you can often easily find a solution in the manual.

Manufacturer's product description
Watch what you want when you want. Record on hard disk without having to worry where to store it. Keep what you like on DVD in lasting quality. Also known as IEEE 1394 and FireWire, i.LINK is the worldwide standard for connecting digital video devices, used on digital home video equipment such as DV and D8 camcorders, as well as PCs. Conveniently, it carries all audio and video signals via a single cable. With i.LINK Digital Video input you can copy your home videos in their original digital picture quality. Multi-format playability allows you to play most file formats for maximum listening and viewing pleasure, including MP3, WMA, JPEG and the popular DivX digital media format. DivX playback enables you to play and share compressed high quality DivX video content beyond your computer. Philips DVD Recorders support 'dual media' recording - the ability to create recordings on DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs. Now you can buy any disc and the Philips recorder will always create fully compatible recordings, which can be played by any DVD player. A very large built-in memory records the program you are currently watching when you press the pause button. When it suits you, you can resume the program from the moment you pressed 'pause' as if you're watching a live program. With Instant Replay you are in control of exciting TV moments so you can enjoy a precious TV moment like a scene in a movie or football match again immediately, at the press of a button. The hard disk can play back any scene while continuing to record TV program.
