I tested a Pioneer alongside a Toshiba and opted for the Toshiba. The
Pioneer has many more features, but implements them not a well as the
Toshiba. I can't stand the constant noise of downloading the TV Guide
at all times of the day and night and the jerky response to scans and
special effects. The Toshiba is quieter but has the fan on all the
time. It implements the edits and special effects much better.

Overall if time is not issue, wait another year for the bugs to be
ironed out as HDD DVD-Rs are still evolving.
