"Brilliant!"
What I like:
Ease of use, looks good, skip button
What I don't like:
Programme guide doesn't cache
Review:
An excellent bit of kit that has transformed my TV watching habits. I now rarely watch anything live as it's being broadcasted, and instead play back things I've recorded on this. So I always have something I want to watch when I have time, and I can skip the adverts quickly and easily.
A recent software update added another vital feature - setting an amount of time to add to the end of a programme time, so that you don't miss the last minute or two of the programme if they are running late.
The only minor gripe is that the electronic programme guide can take a few minutes to receive, and it doesn't get cached. So if you turn the box off and then on again you have to wait for it to download again. No major problem, but seems like an easy thing to fix.

Panasonic SC-BTX70
Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost
Sony BDP-S760
At last, we have the awesome Blu-ray player we've so long suspected Sony was capable of making
