The HM-DH40000 D-VHS HDTV Recorder, D-VHS or Digital-VHS is the format HDTV was waiting for. In fact, it is the only medium and format currently capable of recording digital content of all ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) broadcast standards in the U.S., from SDTV (Standard Definition) to HDTV (High Definition). Up to six times better quality than DVD, the incredibly high read/write speed (28.2 Mbps in HS mode) of D-VHS makes it possible to record HDTV broadcasts, while the huge storage capacity of an 8-hour D-VHS cassette (50GB) allows you to record up to 4 hours of HDTV, whereby an entire HD encoded film can fit on a single cassette, with room to spare. It gets better. Since, D-VHS can record any type of broadcast (even analog), you can record, for example, up to 24 hours of cable programming on a single D-VHS casssette. Lastly, Since D-VHS uses the same tape transport mechanism as regular VHS, the HM-DH40000 can record and play back analog VHS and S-VHS tapes, as well, ensuring complete compati Minimize

Pros: Beautiful HD recordings at home, and inexpensive too
Cons: Hard to master all the menus and features. DTCP suppresses recordings of programs.
The Bottom Line: Would be a good interim medium for HD programs until HD-DVD-R comes along except for FCC mandated DTCP copy protection.
