HD Beat First Look: Sony's ATSC recorder

By Matt Burns

Just a little heads up. We just received Sony's new ATSC recorder (DHG-HDD250) for review and I am excited to see this thing up and running. We will be posting a review after living with this thing for a few days, but I wanted to give you my first thoughts.

  1. It has a QAM tuner paired with a cable card.
  2. Got to love HDMI.
  3. The remote is kind of funny looking.
  4. The interface sucks
  5. This thing costs HOW MUCH? $799 – Holy crap.

That sums up my first reactions on this recorder. I am not that excited about this thing anymore, but who knows. It might turn out to be a nice unit.

NOTE: Sony does not have this product on their website for some odd reason.
