Amazon.com Product Description
The RCA DVR10 high-definition hard-disk video recorder offers the capability of recording and storing your favorite TV programs--even at full high-definition (HDTV) resolution. This 80 GB digital video recorder holds up to 9 hours of HD programming and up to 40 hours of standard-definition programming when connected to a copy-protected IEEE 1394 digital TV (including RCA Scenium sets) or set-top box. Using the built-in timer capabilities of a connected television or set-top box, the DVR10 can be triggered to record programs up to 24 hours in advance, programmed to "tape" a program daily, or set to instantly record a program in progress.
Key features include pause, fast forward, reverse, slow motion (both forward and reverse), and single-frame advance. The DVR10 also offers a variety of skip and search functions based on the IEEE 1394 commands from the controlling device. Unlike a traditional VCR, with which you have to wait for a program to finish recording before you start watching it, the DVR10 lets you pause, rewind, and play back a program as it is being recorded. Press the left arrow for an instant replay of the last 7 seconds or the right arrow to jump ahead 30 seconds.
The back of the DVR10 has two 6-pin DTVLink (IEEE 1394) ports and an AC power-cord connector. Devices using the IEEE 1394 interface can be connected to either port. Devices certified as DTVLink use the same IEEE 1394 interface but also include advanced copy protection schemes to send and receive encrypted or copy-protected content. The IEEE 1394 interface also lets you control the DVR10's record and playback functions right from the remote control for your television.

Good concept, but didn't work for me........2005-11-08
Stay Away.......2004-03-24
1) It ONLY records HD (ATSC), not VHF (NTSC) broadcasts.
2) The DVR10 has no built-in guide or interface enabling simple "press `n go" programming.
3) Programming future recordings is cumbersome and unreliable.
4) Recordings stop once you change the channel.
5) The control functions (rewind, pause, etc) are slow and temperamental.
6) The user must manually switch their TV input to access DVR10 recordings.
7) The DVR10 will likely stop working or re-boot your HD TV ...several times.
So, ask yourself how many HD channels you have, and why you would not want to record the other 90% of your cable line-up before you buy this product. Ask yourself why RCA chose to use a slow disk drive (only 5400 RPM) with low video buffer (only 2 MB) before you buy this product. Ask yourself if you want to re-live the "how do I program my VCR?" era all over again.
The DVR10 is a stop-gap HD VCR, and a step-back for consumers who want the more user-friendly, more useful DVR solutions you can get from Tivo or your local cable company. Please spare yourself from the cost and annoyance.
