Toshiba DVR with DVD burner and 160 gig hard drive - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I recently purchased a Toshiba 160 gig DVR so that we could send back the one we are renting from my cable company. However, my wife likes the cable company unit and we now have both of them. So, this one needs to find a good home. I purchased it about 5 weeks ago and have recorded many of the August Speed Channel races on the hard drive (and have watched about one of them). So, if you'd like, I'll leave the races on the drive and you can watch them and delete them as you wish. It came from Crutchfield, just before they cleared them out and I paid $299 for it (it was $349 or so and I got it as the price dropped). I have the box, manuals, etc. I purchased a bunch of cables by Monster Cable for it when I bought it and I may not be using them anywhere else, so if you need cables, let me know and we might be able to work something out there (if not, they just go in my box of spares, they'll get used on something eventually).
