ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder Specifications

A step up in broadband and home network-ready DVRs, ReplayTV’s 5000 series digital video recorders let you distribute recorded programs within your home and share personal recordings of nonprotected video content with 15 friends and family members who also own 5000 series DVRs.

The ReplayTV 5040 stores 40 hours of programming while letting you pause, replay, and slow down live television–all with no tapes, no timers, and no trouble. The handy Commercial Advance feature plays recordings without advertising. This allows you to watch television on your own schedule, free from the constraints of network scheduling, which often pits multiple cool programs head-to-head.

With a cable modem or DSL, the 5040 hooks up for fast and easy broadband video transfers with other broadband-connected 5000 series users. It also lets you share video throughout the house using a built-in Ethernet port and existing home-networking equipment, and it stores digital photos and home movies, letting you see your favorite digital photos on TV. This ReplayTV provides iChannels (which lets you download video content from the Internet) and the Reply Channel Guide, downloaded daily through the broadband connection, which offers a convenient, grid-based list of shows that can be recorded at the touch of a button. It comes with an easy-to-use remote control. ReplayTV subscribers can pay .95 pe r month or a one-time product service activation fee of 9.

ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder Overviews

With ReplayTV, there’s always something good on, and you don’t ever need to be bothered by commercial interruptions again! Topping the charts of user-friendly features, Commercial Advance lets you choose to skip commercial breaks all-together when you playback recorded shows. No fast forward, no remote control interaction at all. Just a split-second “blip” and you’re right back into the action. Not bad for starters… and how about all those advanced features for the connected home, like Internet Video Sharing and Room-to-Room Video Streaming? It’s all possible, and a whole lot easier than you think.

[if We have had our ReplayTV for two years now, never had a problem with it, and at this point, feel that we cannot live without it anymore. Shows that we would prefer our children see (as opposed to those that are on after school, which tend to be pretty violent) we record during the day, and give them their choice when it is their TV time. We are able to skip repeats, find something interesting to watch instantly when programming is switched around or preempted, and for really important shows that we can't wait to see--we start watching 20 minutes late and don't have to wait through commercials to see what will happen. I actually think we watch less TV now than before, but it's all stuff we WANTED to see--a huge difference, and a great one!]

I’m disappointed – X. ZHANG –
This kind of machine is good for its capability,but I can’t stand for the installation complexity.It dosenot support DISH Network Service.More important,I cannot get any help from the seller and It’s impossible to make a return.

DVR Replay System – Barbara Pollard –
Great product and easy to install. Don’t have to deal with the Cable Companies to get it up and running. Enjoying it immensely.

Grossly Unreliable; Miserable Customer Service – Mike M. – Los Angeles, CA
My unit failed three days after installation. The machine locked up and rebooting did not correct the problem. ReplayTV’s poor customer service exacerbated the experience. The representative was pleasant but lacked any technical expertise. Her supervisor was downright insolent. After considerable aggravation, I returned the unit.

The choice is simple: roll the dice with ReplayTV, or settle for Tivo and eliminate a possible headache.

ReplyTV 5000 Series – Brucer – Hawaii
I have 5 of these and just ordered a 6th. It’s changed the way we watch TV. The units are easy to set up and use and it’s a joy to skip through the commercials with Commercial Advance which, unfortunately, is no longer offered on the 5500 series. Even so, it’s a good machine and I highly recommend it.
