DVRs with the free TV Guide online service work well. i love my panasonic but you will have to check to see if it is available where you are.
Hi
I live outside of the US and I'm very interested in buying a DVR to record my favorite shows. I've heard that Tivo and ReplayTV without the subscription fee are almost useless. I just need a DVR that I can program to record shows like a VHS. Is there a good DVR for this?
