Best HD-DVR?
I'm wanting a DVR to record OTA HDTV. If possible, I'd also like to be able to archive the HD to DVD. What is considered the best DVR for this purpose?
I figure my options are:
- Set-top box routed to DVD recorder
- Home Theater PC
It seems every review for a set-top box (like the Toshiba Symbio and RCA DVR10) make the boxes look bad. Is there a great set-top box out there I am missing? How are the programming guides?
Perhaps the HTPC is the best option? I do worry about noise, but could use something like a Mac Mini coupled with a 3rd party HD-DVR firewire unit. HP also sells an interesting looking unit(Digital Entertainment Center but it's a little more than I wanted to spend.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling above... what do you all use to record (things like season-pass, time-shift, pause, et cetera) and archive your HDTV?
