My Panasonic E80H still works great except for the problem of the tray not ejecting. I've tried all the fixes but the only thing that seems to work is pressing the open/close button on the remote for about 3 minutes and it will eventually open.
My question is, which unit would you recommend to replace it? I've been looking at the Philips DVDR3576H, especially because is has a hardrive. What are the major differences and is it worth getting compared to getting my E80H fixed. I mainly like to record either from TIVO to HDD or record directly on HDD from cable and archive onto DVD-RAM. Unfortunately I have a huge archive of DVD-RAM's which I'll have to transfer back to the hardrive and put them DVD-R, before the unit dies. I guess I never thought that Panasonic would be getting rid of HDD models.
Thanks for any advice you could give me.
