Now Ben's kid's kids can laugh at him wetting himself before his parents blow out the candle....I'm sure he's thrilled.

What's the model number? Tuner or no tuner? Not enough information on the site.

I agree, not enough information. Refurbished? Doesn't specify an HDMI port. Googled Magnovox and found one that looks like it at walmart.com for the price mentioned in this ad. But still - not enough information and no tech sheet to see details. Otherwise, might consider it.

If you do a search on Heartlands site you find the same thing showing "no longer available" with this at the bottom...so my guess is that it is refurb:

"Factory serviced to meet original quality standards. May have slight cosmetic blemishes. "

Here's the link at walmart for tech info (IF it's the same one) retailing for $147:

If it has 1080p upconversion, I guess you can assume it has a HDMI output.

Amazon has this for $84 with free shipping
(remanufactured - but I think this one here is too)

EDIT: Looks like there are several sellers, found another one for 69 with 12 shipping...

I called Heartland and was told this product is refurbished and does not come with ANY warranty whatsoever. Heartland has a 7-day return policy, but beyond that, it's an "as is" sale. Never heard of that before - there's usually a 90-day warranty on refurbished products.

She said they have another refurb unit available for $129.99 w/90-day warranty and you can buy an extended warranty on that one, but the extended warranty is not offered on this one.

So buyer beware - if you buy it and it quits working on the 8th day, you're out of luck. Too risky for me.

Amazon link for better deals...ALL offer the 90 day warranty...check out the tabs that show "new" "refurb" and "used". The NEW are all refurb - so if you click the refurb tab, the same place that has it for 84 w/free shipping has it for 74 w/free shipping...weird...

Sorry for an additional post, can't seem to edit.

DOES NOT HAVE A TUNER. Only use is to copy VHS, or to watch VHS & DVD. Took me this long to find it doesn't have a tuner.

You can get an internal tuner card to do this (for your desktop) for ~$50. Plug in the VCR, record to your HD, burn the DVD. It's one extra step, but I think it's actually more convenient because you don't have this huge VCR-shaped box to deal with. Hauppuage (I always spell that wrong) makes good tuners, just make sure you know the difference between PCI and PCI Express on your motherboard. That got me once.

This may be "apples to oranges", but this Magnavox DVDR (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Magnavox-160GB-DVD-Recorder-Tuner/10104532)has a digital tuner, dvd recorder/player, and hard disk drive. You can record directly to the hard drive, which gives you the option of watching once and erasing, or transferring to a DVD. Since you've recorded to a hard drive, you can edit to remove commercials. If you want to transfer from VCR tapes to DVD, just hook up a VCR, record to the hard drive, edit, and record to DVD. For not much more money, I think it's a lot more flexible. J&R Music frequently has factory refurbs for about $160. There's a ton of information from users of this unit at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=940657

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
