    The bottom line: 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 was finally tired of using tapes to record my favorite TV shows. I knew that there were hard drive recorders out there, so I thought that I would give this a try. It works great. I knew that it had issues with the title of recorded items. I wish that you could give unique titles to your recordings. Instead you are stuck with the Date and Time stamp as your title (at least until you change it yourself). The other problem that I had with this, was when I was copying from... Read more

    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

    Don't bother wasting your time or money. Philips support is a joke to say the least and the machine they replaced the first one that broke with we have had for almost 10 months was manufactured in August 2007 and is almost useless. My old VCR is more dependable than this piece of crap! The thing has lost it's mind and won't remember what day or time it is, won't remember the many timers that have been reset more times than I can remember. Decides what it will keep on the...

  4. Great product.... but, you need an old-school solution for power outages

    We've been very happy with this. Our only real complaint is minor. In this day and age of technology, we've found it unusual that this product loses all of the timer programs in a momentary power loss. Even my clock radio from 1985 has a battery back-up! So, grab your pen and paper and write down all of your programs as a back-up (or at least make a nice little file noting your programs somewhere in cyberspace) and set aside some time to re-program after the storm blows...

    I bought this DVR because of the 160 GB hard drive and it does everything that I was looking for. Its great to record a program or movie and then skip over the commercials or pause it when the phone rings. I use an antenna and with the ATSC tuner, I can now watch digital broadcasts which gives me a much beter picture than my antenna does. Read more
