I am looking to purchase a new DVD recorder to transfer my Tivo recordings. My preliminary research reveals that some DVD recorders have strong copy protection that does not allow the Tivo recordings to transfer. I am looking for two things in my new DVD recorder: 1. no restrictions on the Tivo transfers to DVD and 2. decent quality on the 6 hour recording mode. "Decent quality" in my opinion would be at least as good as VHS in SP mode.

Can anyone make any good recommendations?

Thanks!

I just bought a Toshiba RD-XS52 that has a 160 gig hard drive and a burner in it.I haven't tried it with my R10. Will I be able to record from it?Will I be able to play my R10 recordings and save them to the Toshiba Hard Drive? Thanks for the help.

Stay away from the Sony RDR-VX515.

Im using a Panasonic ES20 and have had good luck with it. I usually record in the 2 hour mode to preserve the pic quality.

Took back a Sony and replaced it with a Panasonic. No complaints!

I really like my Panasonic DMR-E55. I bought it off eBay for less than $100.

I don't want to buy it off the net. I am looking for a good one to buy from a big box retail store such as Best Buy or whatever. By the way, Google seach did NOTHING for me except locate some car amps and cell phone batteries. Thanks, Googs! :down:

As long as we aren't taking this the wrong way. Have you ever tried the manufacturers site. They usually make it fairly easy to find a dealer in your area.
