Product Description
Model DRC8335 features both analog and digital TV tuners for over-the-air reception, providing a crystal clear picture and more channels than DVD recorders that only record analog TV programming or don't have the ability to tune any channels. The DRC8335 is a full-function VCR and DVD recorder. It can record standard analog cable TV, analog broadcast TV, and digital broadcast TV with its built-in twin-tuner NTSC/ATSC design. The combo unit also works easily with set-top boxes that bring digital cable and satellite signals into a home, allowing for easy time shifting and enjoyment of favorite programs after they are broadcast. The RCA DRC8335 is truly a full recording solution.

 DO NOT PURCHASE!!!! November 12, 2008
Jemima
My husband purchased this a few months back because we were given a free projector for our family room and wanted to keep costs down to use it as a television. So when my husband saw this had a built in television tuner, as well as dvd/vhs capabilities, we thought this was a perfect solution. I did read reviews saying how awful the machine is, but decided to be brave and give it at try--figuring people who were happy with it might not report that fact.
Well, it does everything wrong that people say. First of all, just an annoyance, but the channels would hesitate when you change them, so if you wanted to quickly go back and forth you had to wait for them to reset. Also, the controls are primarily on the remote, so when the machine froze, you relied on the remote.
After a while it would freeze while playing dvd's, and you could not turn off or turn on the machine nor eject the dvd. You would have to unplug it and hope it worked. It eventually would work again but eventually would freeze again. Two days ago it crashed again while we were watching a dvd but this time, it just says 'hello' over and over. All functionality is gone.
What a waste. So much for the $150 we paid to benefit the 'free' projector. Wish we would have purchased a new tv.
I wrote to RCA today and hope to hear back from them but I am not hopeful.

I got my RCA 8335 as a warranty replacement and not at Amazon.I must say my unit has performed well enough.I've recorded hundreds of programs with good results.Yes,the unit has frozen on me a few times but I just go through the ritual of -unplug and plug again and it goes back on track.I am sorry all these other people got bum units.
PURE junk August 15, 2008
Robert Milling (Aiken, in beautiful South Carolina!)
Had mine just over 6 months. Ate a VHS tape (still can't get it out) and DVD operation is crappy. Clock will not stay set so timer recording is not reliable. What really irritates me is that if you try to go to RCA website for service info, it automatically switches to Audiovox site, and Audiovox will send you a message that they do not service this model
Total piece of JUNK! July 14, 2008
Vaughn (Lubbock, Texas USA)
I have owned this unit for almost a year. It has given me nothing but problems from the beginning. I think all the problems with this unit boil down to the software. This unit actually has an operating system like Windows. But I am not talking about Windows XP, it's more like Windows 1.0. It crashes and freezes constantly. It has so many glitches it would take me pages to describe all of them. Just don't buy this unit. For my part I will never buy another RCA product. I have owned a few RCA products in the last 10 years and all of them have been pieces of junk. The bad thing about this unit is that you cannot even ask to exchange it for a different model because the DRC8335 is the only VCR/DVD-R combo that RCA has ever produced. Mine has died for the second time and I am now struggling with throwing it in the garbage or warranting it out again only to suffer another couple months of frustration.

Don't Buy RCA (Boulder, CO)

There should be 'minus' star ratings for this product. I bought this piece of junk and it wouldn't work from the beginning and I'm pretty tech savvy. Paid a repairman $80 and it worked less than one day. Warranty for return to Wal-Mart ran out and I haven't yet returned it to RCA for a replacement. ALL reviews about this product on other sites speak to its defective features. I think everyone that bought one should file a Class Action suit against RCA -- but of course I don't know how to do this.
