Anyone know if there is a DVR that I can buy without the monthly
subscription fee and set up charges to record TV shows onto the harddrive?
I heard that only a few manufacturers were making such devices, but I
haven't been able to find which ones.

Thanks!
 
I should have been more clear. I'm looking for a stand-alone DVR to record
TV shows without the monthly fee. I want the TV shows to be recorded
internally on the DVR harddrive, not my computer.

Thanks.
 
Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, JVC, BenQ, LG, Lite-On, Mustek, Philips, Pioneer,
Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp plus many more all make Standalone DVD recorders with
inbuilt hard drives. Standalone DVD recorders with hard drives have been
around for several years. Pick up one of the Sunday sales ads from Best
Buy, Circuit City, etc and you'll find them. Even Walmart sells them.
The only difference between the typical DVR provided by some cable companies
is that most standalone DVD recorders do no have but 1 tuner so they can
only record 1 show at a time but all have the capability of burning DVD's.
 
And why are you asking this on a Windows XP news group? How do you feel it
is relevant to anything with any version of Windows?

Do I have to pay a monthly fee using those DVD recorders with the internal
harddrive to record TV shows?
