Good: Easy to use
Bad: Have not found a bad point yet, I am pleased to say.
Comment: Love this machine, easy to use and lots of great extras, it's Sky+ for freeview. A lot of machine for your money, I truly think this deserves five stars.

Good: Cheapish, simple to get to grips with
Bad: Only recording 1 channel at once, flaky software (still after umpteen OADs), weak interface
Comment: I probably wouldn't buy this again after so many updates and still a poor level of stability in basic functions.

The remote looks really cheap as well, and the user manual is odd - a massive sheet of paper folded over like a map.
But Sagem obviosly spent the money elsewhere. You get 2 SCART sockets AND a SCART lead. Plus an optical out for audio.

Hey, I'm a man. I drink beer, like programmes about Police chases and make stuff up to fill gaps in my knowledge whilst sharing wisdom with my fellow men. Chances of me reading a manual? Set up was a joy. Plug it in, follow the first few screens from the
