User Comments about the Philips DVDR3506 Hi-Def 1080p Up-Conversion DVD Player/Recorder

Both products work fine with what I want to do, playing or recording. If it may post a problem, can it be fixed by downloading a patch, or I have to buy another one. I was upset to start with because I had to buy this one (DVDR3605) to get a dtv tuner.The new DVDR3605 is moderately improved than previous one. However, I am not sure it actually has two tuners, or simply have only analog tuner and a digital converter which converts digital signal to analog signal. I attest it can receive both digital and analog signals. Would that be a problem when we all convert to digital after Feb, 09. However, have two questions if anyone would follow up and clarify:(1) Some other websites list this product has analog tuner only.
My TV has 1080p, so I can not tell whether it is a truly digital tuner or a converter. One big plus - it receives BOTH analog and digital signals which was a surprise to me. (2) disc write format: NTSC. What does it mean. I thought it is the analog tuner name. Both are true, but not really bad enough to bother me.I would have rated it 5 stars. I got this product through a promotion, the price was good compare with its peer product.I was a Philip 3400 DVDR user, so this product is no stranger to me.
Big help during the transition period.Heard some complains about buttons on remote control too small, writing and reading disc too slow. On programing recording part, it adds Mon-Fri, Mon-Sat to Daily programing. Few more options on set-up menu - font color, background color etc. - which I would be really mad.
It just imposes the choice of the TV program's producers on you.I kept my receipt, so I'll be returning this recorder soon and getting one by a different company that trusts ME to make the decision about what I record and how I use it. It does not give you the freedom of choice to make up your own mind as to whether your recording constitutes fair use (recording television in order to watch privately later) or duplication for showing to the public. The recorder is one of the newer ones and would otherwise be a great one, but its fatal flaw is built-in anti-copying technology that makes it so you're unable to record many TV programs that are broadcast with a certain signal. I attempted to record several episodes of Breaking Bad last night, but it only recorded two second snippets.As it turned out, this DVR comes with a copyright protection software that shuts down the recording function if you record the wrong program. If I get caught violating copyright, it is on me, not Phillips.
