Humax DRT-800 Review

Levi Wallach posted a comprehensive review of his new Humax DRT-800 TiVo/DVD-recorder. I've heard nothing but good things about these units and this review is much of the same. He shows off pretty much every aspect of it and explains how each part works.

I love that TiVo makes DVD menus that look just like a TiVo, that's a great idea and way to show off the service to those that don't have it and might borrow a DVD from time to time. I also love the idea of using a TiVo remote to control a DVD player. I'm often using the TiVo controller for volume when watching a movie and I often forget that the pause and ffw buttons don't actually control the movie I'm watching, though I wish they could.

Does the Humax unit TiVO DVD playback? I have the Toshiba w/ built in DVD player (not burner) and the normal TiVO skip-back doesn't work; pause, fast-forwards and rewinds don't work like TiVO at all, they act like a DVD player... TiVO controls spoil you.
