DVD based systems have a very limited recording ability. Maximum record time is about 4 hours versus a hard drive based DVR that holds 40 hours easily.

The Series 1s don't officially support the antenna converter boxes, bot the Series 2s that support antenna (such as those aforementioned DVD combos) do support converter boxes.If your recording needs are minimal, you might be better off with a DVD recorder....Show more
