    This is not an hd recorder. HDD stands for hard disk drive. It will likely record in wide screen in 480p, which will look very good, but not hd.

    I have this unit, I have never set up the TV guide you mentioned, nor have I seen anything about it.
    I like the HDD part of it, makes it basically a glorified VCR, (which by the way is why I bought it, my vcr died years back) I have since moved to the D* HR20-700.

    I was able to set the unit up to record the D* programming with Line out, but found it a hassle to have to set this unit to record and make sure the D* receiver was set to turn on at the same time or left on the correct channel to record.
    I think I got mine for like $400
