Anyone like me and plan to buy their first DVD Recorder in 2007? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The plan was for me to get it in June but things happened but it looks like I will be getting it in Mid-January. Who else on here doesn't have a DVD Recorder Yet?

I bought one about a week before Christmas in 2004. Hard to believe it's been 2 years now.

I can't even remember how things worked before.

It's just so much better.

I have a DVD player, but not a DVD recorder.

Fortunately, I don't have to buy one. My roomate just recently bought one, so I just use hers whenever she's not home.

I don't have one and have no plans to get one anytime soon.

dragster58 · 12-07-2006, 12:06 PM

Mine's all in one!!!

I already have one. I bought it last January. I may upgrade in 2007 to one that has a hard drive, not sure.

Yea that sucks. The K-Mart here in town still carries them though and if it really comes to it I got hundreds of VHS tapes with movies on it. I can always use a few of them that I don't watch anymore. I'm more concerned with the VCRs then I am the tapes. I just don't see a reason to get one right now. I buy Movie and TV DVDS anyway and as far as taping I use the VCR to tape shows that I erase anyhow.

The DVD recorders with hard drive are how much and why is it an upgrade?

It's an upgrade because the DVD recorder that I currently have, doesn't have a hard drive.

I looked at a couple that cost roughly $400. They were both Samsung. Philips has one that's $300. That was at Walmart.com

Consumersearch.com I went here to find out which was the best brand to get.

What does a DVD recorder with a hard drive do that a DVD recorder without a hard drive can;t do?

It makes it easier to copy stuff from one dvd to another, for one thing. I could save whatever I want to copy on the hard drive and then put it on another dvd. Also, I could put all my Norman Lear shows I have, on tape and dvd, on the hard drive and then just copy them to a disc.
