I've always experienced a few problems with the Samsung HR720. The worst is that the last chapter of anything written to DVD-R is lost. I have to record a couple of minutes beyond the programme that I want in order to get the whole problem. A second problem is that anything I write out DVD-RAM, which I then copy back to teh hard drive cannot then be copied to DVD-R. It just refuses. Occasionally it also freezes so I have to pull out the power cable. On one occaison i was in teh middle of a delete and this corrupted the title names of the recordings on the hard drive. Does anyone know how to get these fixed.
