depends... I'd rather have a computer with a TV tuner to record the shows.

One good thing about DVD recorders in general is that the video quality beats just about anything similar on a pc plus you have the option to record up to 6 hours vcd format on a dvd disc which is of suprisingly good quality. I have a LiteOn DVD recorder myself. That Pioneer should have TiVo (or at least TiVo-like capability) built in because that's what's the hard drive is for. Plus (I may be wrong on this) that Pioneer should have rudimentary editing functions such as trimming video clips.
My LiteOn doesn't have TiVo or editing functions built in. Of course, that's asking a lot for a < $90 DVD recorder. It does take just about any type of dvd discs and dvd-ram plus it has 2 a/v out (RCA and SVideo) plus progressive scan/optical, 3 a/v in (75-ohm coax, RCA and S-Video), plus a 4-pin firewire port.
I heartily recommend dvd recorders for those with no patience and for those who dont care about fancy menus.
In short, that Pioneer should be a great buy.....

Nasa list of things to buy (if I had the money) ko rin ang DVD recorder. Nasa research mode pa ako ngayon on which to buy.
I will be watching this thread for your comments.

I watch TV from my sat decoder box, which has 2 tuners, an HDD and TiVo. The problem is the system is proprietary, and they don't have one with a DVD recorder ... so I paired it with a Sony DVD recorder (no HDD).
As Jun have said, a DVD recorder beats just about anything similar on a pc. It doesn't need a computer, which is a plus for me. It doesn't have fancy editing, but at least you can cut out unwanted scenes (like commercials) even when recording on a DVD+R. It's great for recording TV shows in countries where they broadcast terrestial TV in widescreen mpeg2 format. It's also great for transferring analog videos (VHS/8mm) into digital.

In any case, I normally use the LiteOn DVD recorder when I want to record movies from HBO or Showtime which are commercial-free. For recording tv shows with commercials in between, I pipe my DirectTV feed to the Video In of my video card and the Line In of my sound card and then record (in mpeg2 format) via a video editing app which is also used to trim off commercials.
