Any Recommendations for DVR and DVD player?

<p>We currently rent our DVR from Comcast, and have our own DVD player hooked up to it. The two machines don’t communicate well, however. It is difficult to burn a DVD, and, well, I could go on and on.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a recommendation for DVR and DVD players that aren’t difficult to set up, and can perform basic tasks, including burning the occasional DVD, easily? I may be asking for the moon here.</p>

<p>Thanks, CC. Looking forward to your ideas.</p>
