We recently went through his here at home. Our choice was for a HDD equipped model. ( it's far easier for editing from videotape if you need to trim ads etc) Although you don't want to hear this, we ended up buying an LG - the reason - LG is the only model that supports both + and - formats for recording. This unit also supports dual-layer burning for $549 with a 3 Year warranty.
