    The Philips DVDR3575H is pretty much your only choice if you want a DVD recorder with a hard drive these days, but it's not as good as it could be. Read more

    I purchased this unit at Circuit City about 6 months before they went under. I was looking for a DVR not made by TiVO and unfortunately this was about it. Fortunately, this was a pretty good unit. It may not record/tune in HD but then again if I wanted cable in HD they now come with DVRs anyway. Lets be real, if you're buying this you are rabit ears user (or you have a modern art aerodynamic antenna). Read more

    Pretty decent product-- except... when I would design a product, I would like to see how I would design it with more accommodating features that don't cost the company a penny more to make. I am satisfied with the picture depending on the recording speeds chosen for I have nothing to compare it to really. Read more

    • --when I have the opportunity I can can transfer from the hd to disc
    • I can't believe the terrible remote control--I can live with the layout--yet I do not understand the narrow fiield of vision the remote has when it talks to the recorder
  3. Good Recorder, Good Tuner, Good Deal!

    The remote is a little cryptic, but has good manuals. Am thrilled recording to the HDD and using the Pause Live TV feature is very easy. Wish the remote was a little bigger and the buttons glowed, as it's a little small for me. The tuner is clear, and the unit ahs al the bells and whistles I'd expected. I am very satisfied! Read more

    [...] I also own a PHILIPS HDRW720/17 DVD Recorder and I'm much happier with that model than the DVDR3575H. Philips got rid of the on-screen TV GUIDE feature in the DVDR3575H, which was VERY helpful in recording shows, in addition to having a TV GUIDE available for the following 7-14 days. The title of the show you were recording was automatically used as the default title. Read more

    Good replacement for the VCR (actually much better than a VCR could ever be) and avoids the recurring cost of both cable company and Tivo subscriptions. Read more
