"Almost, but not quite"
What I like:
HD; available to buy!
What I don't like:
Franglish on screen
Review:
EXACTLY how do I "Reserve" a program (Franglish! just like my daughters Humax PVR for FreeView) so that I can record the output from the Scart?
The clock in Standby mode keeps changing to GMT instead of BST and it has only once (in three tries so far) actually powered up - but no output. I know I am on correct Scart channel 'cus I have manually recorded from AV2 socket on my DVD-RAM recorder.
Oh! how I miss my DigiFocus Twin Tuner PVR! - but no FreeView here in new house.

BBC HD denied the ability to use DRM by Ofcom
The BBC proposed a form of DRM on its HD service some time ago, and was roundly criticised for the move. Now, it appears that Ofcom isn't up for any rights management either

Samsung HT-BD8200
Great piece of kit, especially for those who have a wall-mounted TV and want a Blu-ray speaker system to match
Pioneer BDP-LX52
Doesn't come cheap, but its excellent picture and sound quality make it worth the hefty investment
