Is the Philips HDRW720 DVD recorder the best Philips DVD recorder?
The Philips HDRW720 DVD Recorder is following the latest trend in DVD recording. Its incorporates TiVo like features and lets you adjust your TV viewing to suit your everyday life. You’ll have the option to record up to192 hours–8 straight days–of television directly to the built-in 120 GB hard-disk drive (HDD).

This unit can’t control your satellite receiver to turn on and tune to a particular channel, so if you want to record you have to set the timer on this unit as well as your satellite receiver.

Youll probably forego the EPG with a satellite dish. Viewed programs are automatically stored on the adjustable 6-hour HDD buffer, from which you can retrieve them, watch them
