3.0 out of 5 stars Nice machine, pity about some details, 29 Feb 2008
By R. D. Day (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Overall a really nice machine, however it does have a number of drawbacks.

As has already been mentioned the difference in price for the larger hard disk is unfairly inflated, but many manufacturers/suppliers sadly pull this stunt. The inability to copy movies to the hard disk is a very annoying and unnecessary design decision, but lets hope with the gradual demise of DRM that future models may reconsider this functionality.

The USB link is very slow and copying music and pictures can take an eternity, a poor design/cost saving decision.

The machine happily copied a whole load of JPG files but for some reason was unable to read/display quite a few, although these appear to be some of the more compressed images. The photo album facility is very primitive, and when it gets to the end of one album it just goes onto the next... annoying.

In a similar vein the music jukebox is also very limited, offering very little functionality. In these days of mp3 devices and a multitude of PC based music playing software you'd expect rather more functionality. For example no shuffle/random track capability.

After all the restrictions you're probably wondering why I gave it 3 stars, well the basic functionality works very well. The recording and playback is good quality, and this is what most users will be most concerned about. While the machine has a slow USB connection at least it has one, along with a lot of other interfaces. Personally I don't care about the picture show facility, but the limited music library functionality cost it a whole star, but that may not be an issue to many potential buyers.

5.0 out of 5 stars LUVERLY!, 29 Aug 2008
By Mr. S. C. Hodgson (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An great HDD/DVD unit, only the lack of a second digital tuner stops it being perfect.

It has true Plug & Play capability, recordings are easy with choice to HDD or DVD. Transfers are simple, and the quality of the auto chaptering is excellent making it really easy to edit out the adverts before saving stuff to DVD.

The HDD is immense taking a couple of hundred hours of recording and very high quality. I can't praise its abilities enough.

The only negative in my opinion is laughingly small, the EPG is imperfect, and 30% of the screen is taken up with adverts!?! Sony please sort out a setting to supress this!

As for the other poor reviews here, If you want a digital Juke Box I suggest that is what you purchase...

2.0 out of 5 stars overpriced, 14 Dec 2007
The only difference between the RDR-HXD1070 and the 970 and 870 is, by Sony's
own admission, the internal disk size. Which is an industry-standard
SATA disk anyway. The models even run the same firmware!

I therefore don't see how Sony can justify a price markup of between 60%
and 100% (depending on where you buy) between the 1070 and the 970.

Additionally, the devices, although DivX certified, will only play DivX
files from optical media. They are incapable of copying them to the
internal hard disk (like you can for jpg files). This is on purpose.

If Sony give us a single new product, with a huge disk, and which is capable of
copying and playing DivX files from the internal hard disk, I will
buy it the next day! Until then, I'm not parting with my money!
