M. Gross - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Pioneer DVR-640H-S DVD Recorder with 160GB DVR (Electronics) We bought this unit to supplement our TIVO which, because of its single tuner and inflexible program guide, has difficulty recording both cable-scrambled and unscrambled channels. The 640H is directly replacing a VCR that we used to record scrambled channels and, for the moment, will give us a second DVD player. This is our first experience with a DVD recorder and I suspect that, since we don't do home video or want the jukebox, we do not need many of the included features. One of the reasons we chose this particular unit is that it DOES NOT depend on either the TV Guide video input or a TIVO-like service but rather, has its own programming options very much like a VCR. Note, though, that for scrambled channels, both the cable box AND the unit timer need to be set. For us the DVR-640-H-S does the following: -Records cable-box scrambled channels directly into the unit's channel 3 and then onto the hard drive (HDD) or a DVD. Again, the individual channel must be set on the cable box, either manually or using the cable box timer and the recording time must be set on the unit. If a blank DVD is used as the recording media, several settings must be made to accomodate the specific type of DVD. The HDD is more forgiving. -Records cable non scrambled channels without going thru the cable box using the unit's built-in tuner and the recording timer. Same settings as for scrambled channel recordings cited above. Note that on the Pioneer web site (but NOT in the manual) there is a footnote stating that the unit's tuner is analog and may need a converter starting in the year 2009. -Records from the HDD onto a DVD for permanent st Source: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-DVR-640H-S-DVD-Recorder-160GB/dp/B000FESU9O
