Amazon.com Product Description
The Humax DRT800 DVD recorder with Series2 TiVo service was designed to eliminate the confusion and complexity of DVD recording with a streamlined design and seamless integration with TiVo digital video recording and an attendant 80-hour hard-drive. The integration of a full-featured DVD recorder/player means you'll have the choice of recording shows to the unit's hard disk or to a write-once DVD-R or rewritable DVD-RW.

Your commercial DVDs will always look great using the set's progressive-scan video outputs (optimized for high-definition and HD-ready televisions). Front-panel audio/video inputs include a DV (digital video) IEEE 1394 jack for your DV camcorder, making it easy to copy from camcorder tapes to long-lasting DVD--perfect for sharing footage with loved ones. You can archive from the unit's hard disk to DVD, too, and the DRT800 even saves you time by letting you burn a DVD in the background while you're still recording and watching live TV.

The TiVo service included with the ($12.95 per month for the first box and $6.95 per month for additional boxes) offers the popular service features available only from TiVo. TiVo lets you search for your favorite TV show, and with the push of a button, set the DRT800 to record it automatically every time it's on. Record up to 80 hours of television entertainment without the hassles of videotape, control live television (pause, rewind, slow-motion, instant replay any channel, anytime), and schedule recordings online.

The DVR section also offers an electronic program guide (EPG), which keeps the DVR up-to-date with 14 days of program data; Season Pass recordings, with which the DVR automatically records every episode of a favorite program all season long; WishList searches to find and record all programs that feature a favorite actor, director, team, or topic; TiVo Suggestions, which automatically records shows based on your recording preferences; and smart recording, which detects line-up changes, adjusts recording times as needed and automatically, and even skips reruns.

If you're already set up for a home network, you can use the DRT800 as an extension of your network, streaming JPEG images or MP3 music files from your PC to the DRT800 for media enjoyment in the comfort of your living room. A home network also gives you access to recorded programs on multiple TiVo DVRs, too.

The DRT800's ergonomically engineered remote control puts the power to pause, rewind, slo-mo, and record right in the palm of your hand. Plus, its varied input/output connections confer multiple configuration options and a pair of USB ports grant the option of future feature expansion.

Sweet, but kind of bulky........2002-08-15

I got one about a month ago and it's cool.
first of all it has a built in MP3 player which is really cool, but if you plan on using it a lot I suggest you get a few large memory cards. Next it has a 16-bit color so you can put high resolution images on it. there are also many other cool things on it, but if size matters to you I suggest you get something a little more compact, I mean this thing is 5.1 × 3.2 × 0.9 big! But if you just want a handheld to scribble down notes,and replace getting a MP3 player this is the way to go.
Over all I really like it and would reccomend it to anyone looking for a PDA.

tired of re-loading.......2000-03-07

Nice looking, Beautiful color screen, easy to use, yet my 430 continues to shut down and not start up. I've tried soft start, hard start, I'm ready to start the thing on fire. My 430 is less than 6 months old. Very unreliable!

Incredible power, but a little bulky.......2000-02-24

I gave up my Palm Pilot Pro (6 oz., 1 MB RAM, 16 MHz CPU, monochrome screen) to move to this newer generation device (8 oz., 16 MB RAM, 131 Mhz CPU, color screen). It comes with Outlook 2000 and synchronizes flawlessly with that and Windows 98 functions. Interestingly, its speed seems about the same as the Palm; however, it can play MP3 files, record and play .wav files, play Audible files, and interface with Word. It's slightly bulkier than the Palm Pro and considerably more so than a Palm V. If you're looking for lots of bells and whistles, the Jornada is great. If you need some basic functions in a smaller package, look at the Palm V.

Journey with Jornada!.......2000-02-16

I just received mine yesterday and it is FANTASTIC! I was up and working on it within 2 minutes. Everything about this little guy/girl is impressive. I really didn't know what I was buying when I bought it but I knew I couldn't go wrong with an HP Palm PC.

I was right!

HP Delivers Again.......2000-02-12

I recently received my Jornada 430 and have been extremely pleased with its performance and ease of use. Start-up time is less than 5 minutes, as you simply touch the screen and can begin using applications. Plenty of speed, bright colored screen, adequate battery power, and a convenient user guide. A compact flash card can also be added to the device, allowing for remote internet access. This, of course, is an additional cost to the unit. Overall, the best PDA on the market.
