Amazon.com Product Description
The Humax DRT800 DVD recorder with Series2 TiVo service was designed to eliminate the confusion and complexity of DVD recording with a streamlined design and seamless integration with TiVo digital video recording and an attendant 80-hour hard-drive. The integration of a full-featured DVD recorder/player means you'll have the choice of recording shows to the unit's hard disk or to a write-once DVD-R or rewritable DVD-RW.
Your commercial DVDs will always look great using the set's progressive-scan video outputs (optimized for high-definition and HD-ready televisions). Front-panel audio/video inputs include a DV (digital video) IEEE 1394 jack for your DV camcorder, making it easy to copy from camcorder tapes to long-lasting DVD--perfect for sharing footage with loved ones. You can archive from the unit's hard disk to DVD, too, and the DRT800 even saves you time by letting you burn a DVD in the background while you're still recording and watching live TV.
The TiVo service included with the ($12.95 per month for the first box and $6.95 per month for additional boxes) offers the popular service features available only from TiVo. TiVo lets you search for your favorite TV show, and with the push of a button, set the DRT800 to record it automatically every time it's on. Record up to 80 hours of television entertainment without the hassles of videotape, control live television (pause, rewind, slow-motion, instant replay any channel, anytime), and schedule recordings online.
The DVR section also offers an electronic program guide (EPG), which keeps the DVR up-to-date with 14 days of program data; Season Pass recordings, with which the DVR automatically records every episode of a favorite program all season long; WishList searches to find and record all programs that feature a favorite actor, director, team, or topic; TiVo Suggestions, which automatically records shows based on your recording preferences; and smart recording, which detects line-up changes, adjusts recording times as needed and automatically, and even skips reruns.
If you're already set up for a home network, you can use the DRT800 as an extension of your network, streaming JPEG images or MP3 music files from your PC to the DRT800 for media enjoyment in the comfort of your living room. A home network also gives you access to recorded programs on multiple TiVo DVRs, too.
The DRT800's ergonomically engineered remote control puts the power to pause, rewind, slo-mo, and record right in the palm of your hand. Plus, its varied input/output connections confer multiple configuration options and a pair of USB ports grant the option of future feature expansion.

Purchased 3 Tivo's..........2007-11-25
...This one is my favorite. The problem that most people run in to with DVR's _and_ Tivo, is a full drive. A larger hard drive just means more old shows to sift through when space is needed, before going on vacation, for instance. The Humax Tivo Series2 DVR Recorder allows me to archive those shows to watch later. Or even watch on my laptop while sitting in the airport!
There are many DVR's available these days that can handle the "Wait-what was that?" and "What did he say?" moments when watching live TV. They can also record shows for watching later, and even set up a subscription, aka Season Pass, to record all episodes of a show. But there is SO MUCH MORE to Tivo.
"Tivo Suggestions" are recorded when there are no scheduled shows to record, and they are based on your viewing habits. Also, the online scheduling ability is very useful, especially when at work or on vacation. ("Darn! I forgot to record the Grammy's!") But my favorite Tivo feature is the local network sharing.
I purchased a Tivo Series2 DVR and a Humax Tivo Series2 DVR Recorder for my home. I have a wireless network and, not wanting to run phone lines all over, I purchased a TiVo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter for TiVo Series2 & Series3 DVRs for each Tivo. The nightly programming updates are now downloaded over my wireless network instead of tying up my phone line.
The network setup and configuration was fairly straightforward, though I did have a problem with my network password. (The Tivo online support forums had the answer. The network password needs to be the hex-equivalent password for an Apple Airport network.) Immediately after completing the setup for the wireless network, I was able to transfer and watch shows already recorded. No compatibility issues at all.
We have put this setup and the Humax through its paces. Simultaneous transfers between the systems are slower, but minimally so. It's only noticeable when trying to watch a show while a simultaneous transfer is underway. (Giving the transfer a few minutes headstart before watching generally solves that problem.) On one particularly busy day, I was simultaneously transferring shows between the two Tivo's, watching a show live, that was also being recorded, and burning a DVD. Not only didn't the Humax choke; it didn't even blink.
Recording shows to DVD is very simple, though I did stumble and purchase the wrong type of DVD's the first time. (I bought DVD+RW instead of the required DVD-RW (or DVD-R).) After inserting the DVD, you only need to select the check-boxes in the order you want them to record. The Tivo automatically calculates the percentage of space each show will require and crosses out any shows that won't fit in the available free space.
Two items of note. First, the Tivo Series2 DVR and the Humax Tivo Series2 DVR Recorder record in different formats. Although I can transfer and watch shows from one to the other, I cannot burn shows originally recorded on the Tivo Series2 DVR. Second, I can't pause in the middle of the DVD burning setup. Doing so requires me to restart the burning process with a new, unused, DVD.
I love my Tivo's. But this one is my favorite. Shhhh!

Wonderful Invention.......2007-11-12
I have had my Recorder almost since they were first offered. I love it! It is easy to record to DVD and I have no problem with the image at all. I suppose my only problem was in getting exactly the right kind of DVD disc.
I'm now searching to get an additional TIVO DVD Recorder and it seems strongly that I will just get another one exactly like the one I already have...Humax. The big decision is in how long a capacity I need as you always seem to end up wanting more than you have.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL!!.......2007-09-25
I really don't get what everyone is complaining about. I have had my TIVO for almost 2 years and have not had ANY problems with it. My remote is awesome, it never misses a channel change and I have never had a problem recording DVD's. Every DVD that I have burned has functioned and is fine. I record all of my shows in High and that is how they are burned. I don't know if that makes a difference but this is hands down my favorite Tivo!! I don't want to upgrade and lose the DVD recorder. I would be lost without it.
great tivo and burning capabilities.......2007-08-26
relax, his Tivo is just as great as the regular, I have had series 1 and series 2 and then this one. There is no difference as to the product. The best is to take shows and burn them to a disk to play in the car! I have a gm minivan and there is no problem. series 3hd is my next adventure, and it seems the same but with a tiny bit of lag time between the channels (a fios/cable problem) not the tivo.
Good Machined - But There is a Problem.......2007-08-24
I love the theory behind the Humax machine and it is incredibly easy to use (if you have ever used a tivo before, it takes about another 90 sesonds to figure out exactly how the Humax DVD burning features work) but I have only had mine for about two years and it is already crapping out on me. It has started resetting in the middle of shows I am recording or watching and it is doing so once or twice a day. It is basically dying and a tivo shoudl last longer than two years (the series 2 tivo's supposedly have a shelf life of 5 to 7 years - I have had one for 5 and it runs perfectly).
It mihgt just be my machine but I would be reluctant about hbuying one of these. Get multiple opinions first (you don't want to spend $300 every two years).

Good lens.......2007-01-09
This is a good lens. I tried it both at the widest and the longest. The performance is good. It is a very handly lens as it covers most of the range that one faces during normal photography.
