I've recently decided to get rid of my VCR and 200 disc Sony DVD player (too bulky) and replace it with a tivo type dvd recorder or hdd.
The reason I don't think I can go with tivo or replay tv is that I don't have a home phone. (only use a cell and not having a monthly fee sounds nice as well)
What is the most cost effective unit that has the following:
- progressive scan dvd
- records a show and has the ability to watch another
- commercial skip would be nice (but not necessary)
- chase play (again not necessary)
I'm basically just looking for a quality dvd player that also has the Tivo type functions.
I've seen a lot about the Toshiba XS32 and Pioneer E85, but am wondering if there's anything cheaper since I won't utilize a lot of the extras available with these two units.
Thanks for any help!
