Trust me, it's a big part of why I "settled" for a non-HD unit. Mine is a Pioneer DVR-320. Personally... I wouldn't buy the Pioneer again. I was never a Pioneer fan before, now I'm less of one (it's my first Pioneer piece of any sort). My 10 year old Sony and 2 or 3 year old Panny standard DVD players have a clearly better picture. I tweaked it a bunch in the settings, but the others still are superior.
That said, the four hour mode is more than adequote for my needs. I only time-shift so if the picture is worse I wouldn't mind. I've only used the 4 or 6 hour mode a couple times, and although the two hour is noticeably better, it's far better than the same duration recording on a VCR.
Get one with Chase Play, whatever you do!
