Panasonic DMR-PWT500
The Panasonic DMR-PWT500GL represents a convenient all-in-one product for consolidating your media consumption -- it can handle Blu-rays, DVDs, digital TV and 3D content. It's not perfect though -- there's no way to get your recordings off for long-term storage, Web features are limited and lots of functions aren't available while recording digital TV. The Panasonic DMR-PWT500GL is adequate for casual users to whom convenience and convergence is important.

Had this unit for 2 years. good PVR but remote is dying - $60! menus are a bit clumsy but connect to the Ethernet port (wired) with FTP client such as FileZilla to manage the data better
