When did the Magnavox mdr557 HDD come out?
10 years and 9 generations of std def (SD 480i) HDD/DVD recorders with single analog/digital tuners for antenna or unscrambled cable… 12 gens if you add the latest HD models. The 9th-gen and last SD model, 1TB Mag MDR557, was released in April 2014 and has some important differences as described here.
When did Magnavox Gen 1 DVD recorder come out?
That gen-1 model won a 2007 CES award for innovation as the ONLY recorder, SD or HD (720p/1080i/p), available (then and now) with HDD, analog & digital tuners for antenna or cable, on-board disc drive for burning/playing DVDs & playing CDs, and line inputs.
When did the last Magnavox SD card come out?
The 9th-gen and last SD model, 1TB Mag MDR557, was released in April 2014 and has some important differences as described here. All have HDD, DVD and inputs for recording/copying from external sources like cable/sat STBs, DVRs, VCRs, cameras, etc.
Why is my Magnavox 557 video not working?
DO NOT use Auto Finalize since you lose control of when that happens. AV Outputs – Composite Yellow and S-Video OUT on Mags won’t work if Progressive scan is ON. AV Inputs – Won’t work if Video > Video Input is not set to type of cable used. Clue: Audio w/no video if wrong setting.

What are the features of a Magnavox DVR?
They don’t have multiple tuners or a “Guide” like cable/sat DVRs or TiVo, but no extra “fee” either, and they do have some DVR features like record to HDD, auto-record buffer (Mags), pause/rewind live TV, skip/replay, chase play, simultaneous play/record, resume-play on all partially viewed HDD titles, and more.
