Why not?
I already have a HD and burner that is probably at least as good as
the one on any recorder plus the possibility of editing with much more
power than any recorder with a HD.

In fact I would prefer a recorder that would function like the Pioneer
DVR-220 but without a burner that would simply transfer the files to
my computer HD without all the hassles of a capture card. Cheap simple
and effective. Plus if the HD or burner goes bad I can easily and
cheaply replace them myself. What would such a device cost-maybe 125$?

Seems like a perfectly reasonable question to me.

My guess is the real problem is not technical but economic (copy
protection).
