The DVD recorder will not record shows that are "copy protected" and guess what? All the shows are copy protected. I can spottily record things when the recorder is in the right mood but 9 times out of 10 when I press record I get the "can not record" message. I called JVC and they said, yep, you can't record copy protected material.

My primary purpose for purchasing the DR-MV80B was to transfer older VHS recordings to DVD. I also plan to use the DVD recorder to save new satellite television broadcasts.

There is no question that we are honestly seeing fewer and fewer DVD Recorders onm the market lately. Simply, because so much more from the market is gaining ground because of the Blu-Ray DVD disc players. While that might seem understandable, there are those who are also looking for a newer way to record their favorite shows.

I bought this from HSN a couple weeks after getting a 65 in Mitsubishi HDTV from them as well.
I was thinking about getting a blu-ray player.
When I saw this unit on air last weekend, I decided to try it.

I was impressed how easy this was to set up, until I tried the Timer Link recording, the ONLY reason I bought this unit.
It wouldn't work at all, which of now means having to manually set the unit AND the set top box.

So this unit to me is basically useless.

Cons: Timer Link recording feature does NOT work well. Too long to start up.
Review: The size is compact for a VCR/DVD Player Recorder and the set up is easy.
But be aware that this model is turnerless and the Timer Link recording feature is seriously ...
