We finally decided to get another DVR -- we have a Panasonic DMR-E80H that we purchased several years ago. We were thinking of HD, but there doesn't appear to be any (except TIVO). Sony had one a year or so ago, but it appears to have been discontinued almost the day after it came out.
Looking at the Panasonic web site, the newer ones no longer have hard drives. The ones that do seem to be discontinued (checking places that sell them). At SonyStyle, all the new DVD recorders do not have tuners (WTF?)... Haven't checked any others at this point, still trying to get the lineup together...
I know there's TIVO Series 3, but our Living Room doesn't have a phone connection anywhere near and I don't feel like running one (or buying a device for $800 and having to pay another $250 on top of it just to get the unit to work).
What's going on with DVRs?
