I had to replace a VCR and have decided to replace the Toshiba RDXV50KF HDD DVD / VCR. The unit I have now very happy for several weeks in use and am. Even the connection and commissioning thanks to the clear operating instructions was very easy. Particularly positive the function is to cut out commercial breaks. Timer programming for DVD / HDD is as simple as the dubbing of films of VHS tapes and from HDD to DVD. What convinced me that recording on VHS tapes is still possible, but this is a timer programming is no longer possible but this is not particularly troublesome. Annoying is only that the device has only one DVBT tuner and an additional DVBC tuner missing.
