Pros: Great picture, great features, plus SVHS VCR make for a product far superior to TIVO.
Cons: Several minor annoyances, such as inconvenient channel entry when programming for timer recording.

| erikrose's Full Review: JVC HM-HDS1 Video Recorder |
The JVC HM-HDS1 combines a hard drive recorder and an SVHS VCR. The hard drive recorder lacks the TIVO service (no great loss to me) but otherwise way out performs TIVO devices. In addition to outstanding picture quality, features include pausing and rewinding live TV, watching a program while it's being recorded with pause, rewind and fast forward capabilities, both of which are great for sports, and the ability to edit from the hard drive to tape. This means, for example, that you can save to tape a commercial show with no commercials on the tape. The hard drive recorder also has very nice navigation features. The VCR is a top-of-the-line SVHS VCR.
We have owned it for about a year and are very pleased. One caveat: prices vary dramatically from as little as $500.00 at B&H Photo to $1700.00!
