"A sad apology for a product"
What I like:
Features in theory
What I don't like:
Frequent crashes, Hard Disc gets clogged up.
Review:
Started off OK but after a few weeks machine crashes requiring power down and restart. Realised top up TV options used up theoretical disc space. Over time disc space gets less and less. With no top up TV channel selected and nothing in library I now get between 0 and 12 hours of usable space depending on weather? from 160 GB. Have always taken available firmware upgrades. On the few occasions it accepts a recording request it will often return a failed to record message and on occasion record something completely different. Also takes ages to delete a program. Next purchase either Humax or Topfield from user reviews I have read. Much more honest.

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
