Yeah, you buy them at dumps like Best Buy and Circuit City where you
pay more and put up with a hassle when you have to return them.

At least WM gives you 90 days with no hassles.

I went thru 3 different ILO DVDRs until I got one that worked. I had
to consult with tech support to know what to get. The ILO DVDRMU1 6.10
is working pretty good for a $99 unit. It plays XviDs too,

I have been keeping watch on the many comments about other units, both
HHD and DVD only. For the extra expense, these units are not doing
much better than the ILO I finally settled on. Each has its unique set
of problems. And that includes giants like Pioneer.

The way I figure it, for $99 and the ability to upgrade every 90 days
plus firmware updates from tech support, I got a good deal. Even if
you build your own PVR, you are going to have problems.

Hell, you can't even run Windows without it crashing now and then.
