My Panasonic combo has been a really good performer thru the years. Seems I found the Panasonic brand to be the most reliable for VCRs. That LG has some neat features... it's a VCR/DVD recorder... but wasn't really that reliable even when it was new.

I've got an older Panasonic DVR/DVD recorder unit that has been through ~8 years of 10 hours recording/playback a week and the only maintenance it needed was a new PATA hard drive (that dates it) after the old one completely died. Panasonic has my respect for making the unit capable of formating a new drive to work in it.
It's more of an emergency back up now than a watching unit since I have to use an HDMI capture device to timeshift cable in HD.
If you are at sea for long stretches I'd imagine you'd want more recording time to keep up with shows.
