Good: Can be used as a square frisbie
Bad: Small hard drive, single digital tuner, expensive
Comment: After the analogue switch-off single tuner PVRs are going to feel like dinosaurs. How Netgem/Evesham can justify £300 for such a poor spec box is beyond me.
An 80 gig drive is not enough. Netgem argue that you can add an external drive or use your own PC. Here's news Netgem - I don't want to fill up my PC drive or have an unsightly disk drive in my TV cabinet, ruining my stylish look!!!
Judging by Netgem's past performance with the iPlayer, I don't believe the "future-proof" claim on the box.
Verdict: Buy another PVR with 2 digital tuners. That's the first step to being future proof!
