    If you are thinking about buying a Dvd recorder then I strongly encourage you not to buy this Dvd Recorder. It cost me around 150$ and its been only 2 months I bought it. Only two months already the damn thing started to act like an idiot. The problem with this dvd recorder is that its not strong enough to record everyday programs. Few days ago I was recording a 20 min show manually and this error messeage popped up saying "There is an ERROR on the Dvd Program" and then the DVD player gets shut down. I lost my frigging video clips instantly. This problem didn't happen once but four times in one week. I am really pissed that a 150$ DVD recorder can go down so quickly. The battery and the remote control that comes with this recorder sucks big time. Please keep my word and don't buy this recorder if you are doing daily recording whether manually or timer.

    Thanks for your nice sugessions. It seems, there is some ripoffs on DVD buying from retailers.
