Brad's Experience - Rio ReplayTV 4504 (40 GB) 40-Hours DVR. Greetings. I purchased a ReplayTV 4504 off of eBay over a year ago. However, it was not put into use until this time last year. The reason I am reviewing this device is not necessarily because it is a prominent product on the market today, but because it is probably the best DVR I have used and I think my experience using it will benefit any potential DVR buyers. In addition, there are still people out there looking at ReplayTV devices to put into their homes. This review should be very helpful in that regard. First, a few facts to preface the review. This device was originally posted to Epinions as a "Rio" branded product. This device is no longer sold as "brand new" on the open market, except in very rare cases by people who bought the machine and never cracked the seal of the product package. The ReplayTV 4504 is part of a family of products that include the 4508, the 4516, and 4532. The ReplayTV 45xx series was replaced by the 50xx series and eventually, the 55xx series.
