iLo DVDRH04 vs Pioneer DVR-533H-S, both is the same ballpark for price,
both have same HD capacity.

Want it to
a) record DVD from satellite PVR (DISHPlayer 7200) over S-Video
b) offload recordings from the PVR (due to limited capacity of its HD)
c) automate off-the-air recordings so I can drop the $84/yr fee for
local stations

The iLo uses +R/+RW media, the Pioneer uses -R/-RW, but I don't know
the significance of that. Which media is superior & why?

What are other advantages/disadvantges of these units?

Thank you kindly.
