Strengths: stylish, 1080i dvd upconversion, 160 gb hdd
Weakness: no hd recording, slow finalizing time
I just got this recently, and even though it's a good dvr system..i am not too fond of the time taken for it to finalize the recorded dvds..was a bit surprising to see that it takes so much time to finalize.. there is no hd recording..it does broadcast hd channels..but recording on dvd as well as hdd is only in sd quality.. it does a pretty good job in upconverting normal dvds though..and the 160...
Strengths: Reasonably priced. Functions well.
Weakness: Not true high definition. Directions for advanced use are confusing at best.
I bought this DVD recorder to replace a VHS recorder as I am getting ready for the digital transition of February 2009 that is widely being publicized. Having just upgraded to a 1080p 50 inch plasma TV I felt obligated to look for the best recorder out there. Now my friends say that I am a dying breed as I have a channel master roof top antenna and do not subscribe to cable so I thought Tivo was...
Strengths: Easy to set up, great picture
Weakness: Remote range is a little short
Very easy to set up and use. It even picked up some OTA HD channels that my HDTV didn't. Great picture. The HDD is what I really wanted and this unit provides a very convenient one to use. I'd buy it again.
Strengths: 160 GB Hard Drive, HDMI, USB, DIVX, video editing features, Hard Drive is a standard PC drive and can be swapped for a larger drive.
Weakness: Timer options using digital cable boxes, tiny cluttered remote, mediocre picture quality, high price and availability, limited to only 4.7 GB single layer DVD+R/-R/RW. No DVD-DL recording.
My timer stopped working which made it mostly useless, and I thought I was really getting a bargain for $196.00. I didn't think it would last for the long haul so it was returned to the store after 12 days. This unit is not really available in big retail stores anymore. It probably isn't a good model.
Strengths: Worked right out of the box, in 10 or 20 minutes after unpacking. Very good picture quality. Good remote.
Weakness: Only one tuner - but, of course, I knew this before I ordered.
I used the unit briefly "over the air", i.e., with an indoor antenna, and also (mainly) with cable (unscrambled channels). The picture and sound quality are very good. I was caught by surprise by the channel numbering, e.g., 91.3, 91.4,... instead of the usual channel 1809, 1405, etc. But it was not hard to get used to.
Strengths: Did most everything I wonted it do.
Weakness: not so good of Hard Drive and no factory support.
Have the dvdr for 5 months now work fine till I had a hard drive problem. Hard drive has a bad secter and when you record over this section it will not play or record to disc. I call Philips customer service and they said they would seen me another unit. Will today they call and said they didn,t have any units to send me and probley wouldn't get anymore. They said they would my unit back. And...
Strengths: Being able to record while watching previously recorded programs
Weakness: Not being able to watch another channel while recording
I had already owned one, and wanted another one for my other TV, and was tired of using the VCR. I loved the ease of use on the recorder and just had to have another one. I consider it the greatest of luck that I found this one because believe me DVD hard drive recorders are virtually obsolete.

The DVDR3576H/37 is the high-end successor to Philip’s 2007’s DVDR3575H/37 DVD/hard drive recorder. The only known difference between the two models is a black enclosure and modified user interface, specifically regarding the digital tuner feature. This device allows you to record up to 198 hours (SLP setting) of standard definition television to its 160GB hard drive, edit out...

DO NOT PURCHASE
Strengths: Worked great while it did.
Weakness: Took only 1.5 months for it not to work, no support.
I was impressed at first with this unit. It recorded my TV programs great and the ability to record to DVD in a variety of speeds was also impressive, but only after 1.5 months the unit stopped recording to DVD and after spending several hours on the phone with tech support, this cannot be fixed. They cannot offer me a replacement as I was told this unit is no longer being made, so I am now...
