#5

Shopzilla… lowest price = $133

BizRate… lowest price = $133

MSN Shopping… lowest price = $133

No CNET Ratings

… those are my prices… semi useless… slim pickins on pricing engines today… also tried to find all dvrs on BizRate under $100 but only found one… best i found was Shopzilla’s DVRs Under $150… which is still more than the woot… but if you don’t like re-furbies… check it.

$132 lowest price, and goes up from there.

#7

For the price you get what you pay for. However, no specifications as to how high the Upconvert is. Is it 480, 720 or possibly 1080, The information does not say. As to the builtin tuner, it’s ANALOG, will be useless in 2008. All HDTV signals are required to be digital.

Am I too cynical in ignoring every product by RCA now seemingly no matter what the price?

#9

I was looking for a second one of these, but Best Buy has a -R / -RW Toshiba for $116 and then adding my Reward Zone coupon takes it down to $99.

That’s only chump-change more for a non-RCA product an a non-r-e-f-u-r-b.

Nice product tho, if I wasn’t purchasing one from Best Buy already I might jump.

I’m a teacher that is looking to record clips from Tivo’ed programs onto something much more sturdy than VHS. I need opinons. Is that the way to go?
