| bradolive's Full Review: Pioneer DVR-810H (80 GB) DVD Recorder |
I *love* my unit, however it has this tendency to reboot every few hours. Sometimes while in the middle of watching television, other times while recording to a disc, or recording a program.
Once, it was creating a dvd, but it failed and would not eject the "incompatible" dvd it found in the drive.
A trip off to Long Beach to the factory only found it returned in 2 days, but with a no fault found note and the need to re-configure the system (about a 2 hour process that I have now done 4 times).
Still waiting to see if they can resolve the problem. When it works, it's great. The only gripe with Tivo Basic is the length of the program listings, but the upgrade puts all of the needed features in - just hate the suggestions.
**UPDATE**
The unit was returned to me a second time today, and they replaced the hard drive. But, guess what? By 10PM it was back at it's old trick of restarting itself. I guess it's off to the factory for the third trip...
