I got one of these;

And this Flash Drive for storage.

A hard drive is the optimal storage device for the unit, but the Flash
Drive is for my wife to carry shows back and forth from home to work
where she can watch here soaps anytime she's not busy.

The Mediasonic HW-150PVR works very well, but has it quirks, one
being, if you set it up to record weekly for a daily soap, it does this,
but it also records Saturday and Sunday. It does not seem to have a
calendar, it just records at the same time everyday. Not a huge problem,
it's easy to delete unwanted shows.
This is for OTA only it will not record cable channels.

What do you use for a program guide?


The system does have an on screen EPG Electronic Program Guide.
It works, You can view a single channel schedule for a large amount of
time, rather than all channels for a couple hour spread. It's not great
but usable. I have a link to a online TV Guide, so I can easily refer to
that if I'm interested.
