Why Are There No High Definition Stand Alone Recorders?

Question

I want to record tv shows in HD. I don't want to pay a monthly service like Tivo or to the cable company. I just want a stand alone recorder, like a VCR or a DVD recorder, both of which I can easily find, but I want a HD recorder. Looks like Tivo is the only game in town. Am I missing something? Why doesn't anyone make a standalone HD recorder?

Answer 1

HD HDD dvd technology is destroyed by Toshiba!

With TiVo you don't have to pay for a monthly service. You can get a 1,2,3 year service.

Answer 3

Actually, you can use a PC with a TV tuner card.  Many of the tuner cards come with software to schedule and record programs similar to a DVR.  I would reccomend the Hauppague brand.
