Good: Just too easy to use. Recording a doddle and screen info at touch of button whether live broadcast, recorded and program guide also
Bad: Initially, it froze a few times, but this has lessened as time goes by. A quick reboot and off we go.
Comment: I previously had an LG hard disc recorder with DVD player but not digital. That was a shame, but I can still use the DVD player after the Switch Over.
I am 66years old with rather stiff limbs, and the re-booting means getting down on all 4s to sort it out, that bit I'm not over enthusiastic about.
However, overall......most impressed.
We'll see how it holds up in the future.

Good: series recording
Bad: customer support
Comment: reguarly freezes despite latest software, will randomley self boot, picture flicker through using scart connector, customer support non existant, only replies inform me to download latest software, problems worse with latest revision, avoid this company as their customer support is a disgrace.
