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.
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 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.
