All DVR's have hard drives.

No. No, they don't. But thanks for playing.

Digital Video Recorders?. . . The three I have and the
others I know about
have hard drives. I'm curious as to what you mean. If not
onto a hard disc.
. . What?

Some record straight to DVD and have no hard drive.

DVD R only with a tuner? Can you provide model numbers?

Doing a quick Google search...

RCA DRC8060N
Liteon LVW-5005
Samsung DVD-TR520
Pioneer DVR-RT500


It does seem strange to consider these DVRs.

What would you call them?

DVD recorders.
There is no inference of a removable disk in DVR.

I call them DVDRs (sorta the same thing). I've had a LiteOn 5045
for over a year and love it.

These people are fixating on the storage medium when the
real issue is the recording features. Some of the more sophisticated
VHS players have features on part with PVR's. They just have a limited
storage medium. All the DVD orientation does is make things potentially
slightly less convenient.

7.5G can be a lot of storage depending on your needs.

OTOH, 80G still may be entirely insuffucient.

I would consider the scheduling and recording features.

VHS players have features on part with PVR's. They just have a limited
storage medium. All the DVD orientation does is make things potentially
slightly less convenient.

7.5G can be a lot of storage depending on your needs.


What has 7.5G? Maybe that's DVD-RAM, since regular DVDs hold 4.7G and
double-sided ones hold 8.5G.

OTOH, 80G still may be entirely insuffucient.

I would find 80G sufficient for a DVR. Of course that's not counting
HD.

Ummm... DVR = Digital Video Recorder

Kind of covers recording on any medium, doesn't it?

80G is woefully insufficient for SD. Anything less than 180 hours I would
say just isn't justified in today's market.

What has 7.5G? Maybe that's DVD-RAM, since regular DVDs hold 4.7G and

Dual Layer. Not quite the same thing as double sided.

Although something like MO drive setup with dual layer optical disks
would bring the storage potential up to 15G.

double-sided ones hold 8.5G.

OTOH, 80G still may be entirely insuffucient.

A mere 80G doesn't give one an opportunity to record very
much in the way of diverse content while still giving you a good
amount of time to get around to watching it.

I disagree. The DVD makes things more permanent for those who like
a library of shows. Both my DVRs (Cable box and the LiteOn) have
160GB HDs, the LiteOn also has a DVD recorder. This gives me all
the flexibility of a VCR and a lot more.

7.5G can be a lot of storage depending on your needs.

I had both 160s full a while back. I've since moved a bunch off to
DVDs.
