Pioneer DVR-810H DVD Recorder/Player: Do Not Even Think of Purchasing Unless....

Pros Easy to use, combine Tivo and DVD, no fees, good picture and sound
Cons Cannot remove commercials, expensive
Recommended it? Yes

We have seen a lot of things combined in the past few years. Cell phones and cameras, for instance. Or PDA's and cell phones. Cameras and video recorders. It is a wonder that it took so long for a company to capitalize on the combination of a DVD player/recorder and a Tivo- like machine.

Pioneer DVR-810H DVD Recorder / Player with TiVo - If you can live with limitations

bydkozin Jul 15, 2004

Pros Picture quality in Fine and SP modes, DVD playback quality, TiVo convenience
Cons No DVD+RW, DVD+R or DVD-RAM recording, no editing, no FireWire, price
Recommended it? Yes

I have to immediately note that the Pioneer DVR-810H will not let you record your camcorder footage directly to DVD and it will not let you record from other sources directly to DVD either. What you can do, however, is record from the hard drive, which can store programs (off the air or from other... Read full review »

Good Combination of Features in a first-of-its-kind product

Pros Ease of use, styling, image quality, TiVo features
Cons No support for DVD+R, price
Recommended it? Yes

Last weekend a movie was coming on TV at 3:30 AM that I was really interested in seeing and sharing with my wife and kids. I had looked for it on commercial DVD but it has not been released. Having had a DVD player for the past couple of years has spoiled us to its image and audio quality; thus I... Read full review »

Pros So easy to use...You'll wonder why you didn't have one before!
Cons You can only record one channel at a time...it needs a dual tuner.
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted a DVD recorder for quite some time and when I first heard about Pioneer joining a DVD recorder with TiVo, I knew this was what I wanted. But, then I saw the price! When it was released to the consumer market, the 810H was north of $1100! Too rich for my wallet...

Ah, but the... Read full review »

A very nice addition to our home theater

byreengler Jan 30, 2004
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great to have DVD-R/RW and DVR in one, we wouldn't want to live without it.
Cons Remote may not run every TV. Shop for discount price. Big footprint.
Recommended it? Yes

We received this player as a gift, but it has been a welcome addition to our "family". It has been invaluable for TV watching with our young daughter. It means we can record her favorite show every day and play it back at any time (instead of only the half hour it's on), even while recording... Read full review »

Cons can't copy transfered shows from other tivo, stuck with original record speed,...
Recommended it? Yes

TV archive junkie here's the scoop

There are several great reviews already posted that give very accurate information about the Pioneer 810 so I did not want to re-invent the wheel. I have to say I found mine online new for $450 so I was not as concerned about the price. Also, if this is... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, Tivo is great! Even without paying for the plus service.
Cons Can't edit anything on the hard disc, very difficult to record external sources.
Recommended it? No

This is a nice unit and very easy to use, it walks you through the setup and the manual actually helps you figure out any function you want. Very easy to use.

The only problem is you cannot do any editing at all! It is impossible to edit the commercials out of any program recorded onto... Read full review »

Pros Great combination of features and easy to use.
Cons Not reliable, expensive and add $300 for tivo plus really makes it a questionable...
Recommended it? No

I *love* my unit, however it has this tendency to reboot every few hours. Sometimes while in the middle of watching television, other times while recording to a disc, or recording a program.

Once, it was creating a dvd, but it failed and would not eject the "incompatible" dvd it found in... Read full review »
