Lately I've been thinking it's about time to tiptoe into the world of today and look into getting a dvd recorder. Any of y'all have one? Do you like? Any recommendations?

I have one...A Samsung DVD Player/recorder/VCR combo. I quite love mine. THe VCR record quality could be better but the DVD record is amazing. Even on the EP setting it's really fabulous. I've just recently started using the dvd part for timer record and it works slick. I still haven't learned all the tricks as far as marking chapters and such but I knw it can be done along with putting chapter images if wanted. I've also used mine to record vhs to dvd which is pretty nifty.

Is it one of those DVRs or does it just record to disc/tape? I was looking the DVRs and those seem so expensive.

Not a dvr...I'm waiting for Comcast to have them as part of my cable package. They are just too expensive on thier own.

I would love to get the "moxie box" (dvr) that my cable company offers. It looks very nifty indeed. I just can't justify adding that extra monthly expense these days.

Having to be a grownup about stuff sucks.

Good to know. Thanks. My beloved Hitachi vcr has been a workhorse for over 15 years. In some ways, I hate to give it up. But lately videotape has become more and more of a hassle.
