What I don't like:
Poor build quality
Review:
I bought one of these to replace a faulty Evesham PVR-80 and found it to be electrically identical apart from the size of the HDD. The ease of use prompted me to recommend to to my 70 year old mother-in-law who is pleased as punch with it. However, mine has developed a fault in that I can only view BB1 and BBC 2 live, although all channels record OK.
I've only had it for about 6 months and I would return it under warranty, but there's so much stiuff on the HDD that I haven't had a chance to see yet and I don't want to lose it all. The PVR-80 also displayed a fault in that the signal out of Scart #1 didn't seem to carry any audio. So, all in all I'm rather dissappointed with the basic reliability of this, and related, items.

Panasonic SC-BTX70
Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost

At last, we have the awesome Blu-ray player we've so long suspected Sony was capable of making
