A decent DVD recorder with QAM tuner

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good product compared to what is out there right now, but buy the extended warranty.
Review: I have been looking for a DVD recorder with clear QAM digital cable tuner for some time. My first choice was the Philips 3505 but no where on the box, at the Philips
website, or in the online user's manual does it mention clear Qam tuner, so I...

Features, features, and more features!

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: Had to try three units, but the third one works great. Biggest problem is no true HD output.
Review: Well it's only fair to do another update. After trying two other recorders - Philips DVDR3505, and Samsung DVD-AR650 - which are not on epinions yet, so I can't review them, I ended up getting a second LG. I did because a lot of people reported not...

First DVD Recorder with ATSC tuner

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: Overpriced and a transitional product, but meets my needs and has excellent picture and audio on DVD playback.
Review: Starting March 2007, the FCC is requiring manufacturers to include an ATSC tuner (this is the new digital broadcast standard for TV) with any device with a TV tuner. The DR787T is the first DVD recorder that I am aware of with this capability, which...

Not the best of DVDR's with HD and QAM

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good but not the best DVD recorder available today
Review: After deciding that Cox Cable was ripping me off by charging approx $300 a year for HDTV service and a box that would only record 6 hours of TV shows, I started a search for a less expensive and possibly better alternative.

Looked at...

Enjoy the LG DR787T and Comparison between The First Two DVD Recorders with Digital Tuner

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: It does not show true HD, but is good enough for a regular DVD recording.
Review: I purchased LG DR787T last week ($229.99 from Bestbuy) and hooked up with my Hitachi 50" 720p Plasma TV - 50HDT50 immediately. One often misunderstood that ATSC is equal to HD. It is actually not. An ATSC tuner is just capable of demodulating...

Lots of problems, but little competition in its niche.

Date of Review:  Oct 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you don't need the exact features of this product, look for something else. Otherwise, wait for a firmware update or wait for better products in this niche.
Review: I bought this unit about the 4th of July. It is now mid-October. This was my first tuner capable of digital reception. It's now ten days past its 90-day labor warranty.

Here in Northern Colorado, there aren't many off-air digital stations...

DON'T BUY THE LG DR787T!!!

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: Don't waste your money on this unit!!!
Review: UPDATE!!! (11/01/2008): At first glance, this was a very feature rich unit with built-in ATSC digital tuner, hidden touch pad that appears when touched, reads USB thumb drives, and up-converting to 1080i. The first cavet is the documentation would...

Garbage

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: Mine may have just been a lemon, But if you have problems too, you are out of luck. LG is no help with warranty or service.
Review: I purchased this thing in May of 2007. Within a month, I tried my first recording. I had a DVD-RW stop recording before the program was done and got the message that it was a defective disk. I gave the machine the benefit of the doubt and thought...

Ho-hum

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: Fine DVD recording features and d good on-screen user-interface marred by a terrible front-panel user-interface and sub-standard reliability.
Review: I bought this DVD player/recorder to replace a DVD player gone bust and to try to retire the VCR as a TV-recording device.

As a player, it's very good at it. The image quality is fine and its capability to start playing a movie skipping...

Life's Not so Good With LG

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2008
Review: I purchased this unit last May.

The unit performed satisfactorily as claimed by manufacturer for 95 days.

In the past, I have never found it necessary nor cost effective to purchase an extended warranty on any of my electronics,...
