"I want to like it, but I don't"
What I like:
The dvd player works
What I don't like:
I cant recieve tv programs because I use a satellite dish and a sky digi box.
Review:
I retired to spain and have a large satellite dish with sky tv. I thought to have a digital 250gb which I could store programs and watch in my own leisure, and put programs onto dvd would be great, so i bought a samsung dvd sh855m, which i was told that it recieves freeview and can be used with sky digi boxies. Now it seems it cant because the freequency is all wrong. 12207 ghz is the freequency the satellite broacast on. most satellite dishes have a converter on them that converts ku band (12 ghz) down to l band (950mhz-2150 mhz) when the samsung freequency is 176000 khz. i dont know if their is any thing i can do to get it set up. do you know? i can use the dvd player but that is all. please could you look into this for me as i dont know what to do. then could you reply to me. i would love to have it working. it would have everything i wanted from a dvd player storing all the films etc but no i cant see it working. thank you. please please look into it for me.

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
