Summary: Toshiba DR560 DVD Recorder Review (with tuner)
Comment: Toshiba DR560 1080p Upconverting DVD Recorder with Built-in TunerGreat value for the money; reasonable price for a dvd recorder with a tuner. Good performance so far, and the menu is easy to navigate. However, any programming will be lost if there's a power outage although the time and date will resume. I recommend the rewritable CD's as it is easy to record over what was previously recorded. There are too many steps to take to accomplish basic functions of the unit; it could have been made simplier. However, overall this is an excellent product.

Summary: Great recorder - great price
Comment: I purchased this recorder as I needed a 2nd one for my work. I already own one of these units and had no problems with it. In less than a month, I have copied over 60 VHS tapes to DVD with it and have not had one problem. The 4 hour mode still looks very good when using VHS tapes as a source. I am very pleased with both purchases.

Summary: Good DTV (HD?) tuner, works with Comcast, sets up easty, remote is so-so.
Comment: After reading all the reviews, and the forum, and actually using it for a week, I'm still not sure if this is truly a HD tuner or not (I must feel about HD the way some people feel about computers, how can this be this complicated to figure out?). I replaced a Humax HFA100 with it, and I can say the picture does not look as good as I recall the Humax picture looking (the Humax died so I can't do an A/B comparison). It does look good, but not great like I recall the Humax with a good over the air (OTA) signal.
I can say a few things about it (comparing my experiences to some of the reviews I'm guessing Toshiba made some improvements as I cannot explain what others have seen):
* It gets Comcast DTV via QAM just fine (as someone else pointed out, do the extended scan, which is non-intuitive I admit).
* It seems to pick up OTA signals better than my Humax did (I was having to constantly adjust my antenna with the Humax).
* Set up is easy. It walks you through it. I don't understand any of the complaints I saw with this regard.
* The remote is average (as remote for most products are). Fortunately the software for my Harmony knows all about it, so I only used the remote for about 10 minutes until I got my Harmony programmed.
I haven't tried any of the DVD or DVDR functionality yet. I'm also don't have any HDMI yet, so can't speak for that.
Overall I'm happy with it just to get the QAM tuning and the free digital channels on my basic cable. I use it for my 8'x4' screen (front projector) - analog signals just look like garbage at that size, the DTV channels from the Toshiba are clean enough to look good. The price was also right.

Summary: Not happy with Toshiba
Comment: I bought this unit on Nov 28 and I want to return it! It never worked properly. First day it got frozen and only unpluging it for 3 minutes solved the problem. Then, after doing the extended scan 2 times it grabbed the DTV channels, but after some hours the clock changed date and time and all the Channels were gone. I decided to call toshiba and they sent my a pre-paid label to ship it for repair, I just got the unit back 3 days ago and they said tuner was replaced, software check and ready to go. Yesterday again I lost all the DTV channels from the memory, I called toshiba again and the representative said that the only thing they can do for me is trying to fix it again NO EXCHANGE, that was ridiculous, the unit was all the time anywhere but my home. Thanks God I can return the unit and get my money back to the store where I bought it from, paying the shipping. The only thing that I was not able to confirm is the 5.1 audio in my receiver, Comcast doesn't broadcast it and I didn't have a chance to connect an antenna. I bought it mostly for the DTV tuner but TVs are getting cheaper and I guess I can wait and save time and health not dealing with Toshiba again. Maybe the do only good laptops

And too late for an exchange!
Look elsewhere.........
