After 8 months of faithful service, my iLo DVR05 crapped out on me, started giving "unrecognized disc" errors after recording. So I pop into Wal-Mart this morning, get a refund for it, go back to electronics, and they have NO DVD recorders in stock. Except for this stack on a top shelf in the back of electronics.

I probably wouldn't have even noticed it except that the front of the box says "DVD RECORDER/PLAYER WITH HDMI DIGITAL OUTPUT".

So I have a clerk pull the box down. She says they JUST got them in, hence no display model. Open it up, find it is a +/-RW recorder with DivX, WMA and VCD supported. DV/SVideo/RCA inputs on the front, RCA/Svideo/external audio input on the back, and component/rca/svideo/HDMI output.

Not bad for $150.

But, that's all the info I got on it (from the manual). Google turns up nothing, neither does Wal-Mart or RCA's websites. I'm assuming the model number is special for Wal-Mart. Going through RCA's site, I can't find a model which is similar to it. Anybody have any clues where to look for more info?

I've used mine for a few months now. For the most part I'm happy with it, except I cannot get it to reliably record a show for me on schedule. Sometimes it will, sometimes it's off by a few minutes, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Manual recording, DVD playback, and the tuner work fine. I don't have a high-end TV so I don't know how well the HMDI or the DVD upconversion works. Only thing I absolutely do not like is that it will not automatically format a new blank disc for you, nor can you do it through any of the menus. You have to start recording your programming first and only then will it ask if you want to format the disc for recording. Also, slightly aggrivating, it will not finalize a DVD RW disc for you automatically, it asks you if you want to do so when you eject it though.

I bought one of those about two weeks ago with the HDMI...The thing would get so hot trying to Up Convertion that it would make disc skip by the middle of the movie.. so now it's back at walmart and I got the Philips DVD recorded which so far is the best there.
