The SD-H400 performs well. I record programs at the "High Quality" recording setting, which is one step down from "Best Quality." I thought I would run out of recording room with the 80GB Hard Drive, but that hasn't
happened. Tivo enables me to record all the programming I desire with relative ease. The unit is NOT noisy at all.
The picture quality on DVD and DVR is outstanding. I don't know how I ever got by without Tivo. I threw my VCR in the trash.
I am sure the price on this component will drop, but I consider it money well spent even though I pay a premium as a "first adopter."
Meets my expectations, but may not satisfy those that expect a multitude of high-end features.
