The amazing DVR-810H is a videophile's dream: TiVo service, an 80GB hard drive, next-generation viewing and recording features... and the list continues. This machine will forever change how you find, watch, and record video.

The DVR-810H comes with the revolutionary TiVo Basic Service included, with no startup cost or monthly fees. Pioneer is the world's first company to offer this powerful combination. Setup is very simple, and finding and scheduling your favorite shows is a breeze.

With the built-in 80GB hard drive you can record up to 80 hours of material - off the air, cable, or satellite, or your home movies - for short-term storage and viewing. You can actually control live TV: pause it, reverse it, play it in slow motion. You can even watch a recorded program from the beginning, while the recorder simultaneously finishes the recording. With the DVR-810H, there's just no going back to the old way of watching TV.

And those shows and other content you want to keep for a longer period of time? Burn them onto a DVD-R (permanent; can't be erased) or DVD - RW (can be erased/written over many times). The DVR-810H features up to 18x record speed, so you'll be able to dub a 1-hour program to DVD in basic EP quality mode in just over 3 minutes. (DVR Version 2.0 4X Media.) You can even record content to the hard drive while dubbing different content from the hard drive to a DVD. It's fast and easy, and the content remains in a digital state throughout, so the quality level is very high.

The DVR-810H features PureCinema 2: 3 Progressive Scan for a more film-like presentation when watching movies; a 9-bit/27MHz video DAC for a truly superior picture; Faroudja Directional Correlation De-interlacing, or DCDi, for a smoother, more natural picture; and a sophisticated noise reduction circuit which can achieve an amazing 6-10dB of noise reduction.

The DVR-810H also features Dolby Digital and DTS Digital surround sound outputs, plus CD and MP3 compatibility.

    Pros: Setup, TiVo integration & DVD drive quality

    Cons: Fan noise

    Most of my audio components are Sony ES and I was really waiting for Sony to come up with a TiVo/DVDR or TiVo/DirectTV/DVR. The Sony DVR is nice but no TiVo means another box. I couldn't wait any longer so I bought the Pioneer. The Pioneer DVR-81...0Hs is an awesome unit. Setup is simple (I suspect it's the same for all TiVos) and the DVD picture quality is better than my old Sony progressive scan. Have not called support so no rating there yet. It has a USB port so if you connect a wireless adapter, and have a wireless network, you can get the TiVo updates over the net and ditch the phone connection. I heard the drive can even be spanned/mapped from your network PC! The only negative thing about the unit is the constant fan noise from a big 3" box fan tacked on to the back of the unit. Since there's no OFF button for a TiVo, the fan runs constantly. But hey, it's a computer! I did go for an additional 4 year warranty so I'll be doing the $299 "life of the unit" TiVo option. The unit comes with TiVo basic and if you're happy with VCR style recording, it may be enough. Buy one now! You won't be sorry! Read more Less

    Capture TV on DVD

    The latest DVD recorders are more versatile than your VCR, but getting the most from one isn't as simple as pushing 'record'.These devices have many of the advantages of DVD players. DVD discs take up less physical space than do bulky VHS tapes. And DVDs, including those created with a recorder, have menus that let you easily jump to specific points within a recording. Plus, with these devices you can record high-quality video: up to 700 horizontal lines of resolution, compared with 250 lines using a VCR. Read more

    Review: Pioneer DVR-810H-S DVD Recorder/Player With TiVo

    With a mix of great features and common-sense functionality, the DVR-810H-S is a must-have on my holiday buying list. But at $900, Pioneer should have included the lifetime subscription fee for the full TiVo service. Read more
