Review Summary |
Panasonic's top-of-the-line recorder boasts eye-popping recording quality, but its programming guide may pose a setup challenge with some cable systems. |
A decent upgrade from a VCR but the lack of digital tuner means picture and sound quality of free-to-air broadcasts are not improved. |
If picture quality and convenience are all that matter, StarHub Smart TV and DVR settop box are the ideal recording solution for you. |
