Amazon.com Product Description
Early Adopters Pick: June 2003. This is the world's first combination HDTV receiver and HDTV digital video recorder set top box. Finally, a PVR for viewers of high-definition television. Zenith's HDR230 is a combination full-function personal video recorder and terrestrial high-definition broadcast receiver, offering the ability to receive, pause, store, and play back high-definition programming all from one compact set-top box. All you need is your HD-ready television and an antenna compatible with over-the-air HDTV reception. This all-format ATSC receiver uses Zenith's fourth-generation VSB (vestigial sideband) technology for both improved terrestrial/cable VSB-DTV reception and noise immunity. Its 80 GB hard drive stores up to eight hours of full high-definition programming (in resolutions of 1080i, 720p) or around 27 hours of standard-definition digital programming (that is, signals with fewer than 700 lines of horizontal resolution, including progressive-scan 480p). With the unit's time-shift mode engaged, you can pause both live TV and recorded playback, view in slow motion, and fast-forward/rewind at 2x, 5x, 20x, and 50x normal speed. The HDR230 offers various display options, with an enhanced scaler and selectable outputs so you can configure the unit for playback on different displays in both 4:3 (standard) and 16:9 (widescreen) formats. For immersive, full-bodied sound to go with your high-definition picture, the HDR230 passes 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround sound through both coaxial and optical digital-audio outputs, which any Dolby Digital-equipped audio/video receiver can decode for use with a multichannel surround speaker system (AV receiver and speaker system not included). An electronic program guide based on PSIP (Program and System Information Protocol) alerts you to viewing options and assists with advanced PVR programmed recording. A user-friendly GUI and fast program-screen tuning further simplify setup and operation. Bookmarked playback lets you index your recordings for easy access to your favorite sections, while digital closed captioning provides subtitling on select programs. What's in the Box

Note: the HDR230 does not include an NTSC tuner for standard-definition analog broadcast reception.
