Query: What a MAJOR disappointment

I thought I had researched DVD recorders carefully. Wow. Was I wrong. This machine has the following major flaws:1. It cannot record most ATSC Over-the-air TV stations in Los Angeles. We have more than a dozen channels, and this unit registers a FALSE positive for CPRM copy protection, such that you cannot record all but two channels in los angeles. i even spoke to the chief engineer at the local PBS station, to confirm that they ARE NOT send the CPRM signal out. So, as a HD time-shifter---USELESS!2. The record quality is terrible, except at the XP (1 hour speed)3. The menu system is extremely non-intuitive and cumbersome.The one positive is that the playback picture resolution is GREAT. (but the is the most EXPENSIVE player I've ever used).We've been loyal to Toshiba for 8 years, but no more.
