Did you get to record Cat 7 though?
BTW - any advice on what type of DVD recorder to buy? I'm hoping to get one after the holiday. I want to archive all my VHS stuff onto discs.
I have an RCA DVD Recorder/VCR(if your gonna be transferring VHS, this is the EASY way to go, it's a lot of unnecessary work otherwise) and love it, although it does have it's issues(likes to freeze up some and you have to unplug it, and I have lost a couple of discs), but I think it has more to do with the product being new and not having all the kinks worked out. Just go with a well-known brand name and you should be fine. Do a lot of online research beforehand(that's what I did and when I actually went to buy it, I wasn't lost or confused).
As for Category 7... I could have recorded it on the other TV(I record Desperate Housewives to DVD live), but decided not to, just because last year's version was so awful I didn't want to waste a disc on it.
Mega-hijack (because I wanted to continue where we left off instead of starting another thread:
Brent, next question -- do you connect yours to your cable/satellite receiver? Or does yours act as a receiver also? I have had a DVR for a couple of years now. I am this ( ) close now to getting my DVD/VCR recorder and I was just trying to figure out how I'd set everything up or if I'd move the receiver to the bedroom or what.
Thanks!
