Rating: - Agree with the others - poor
I bought one of these today in spite of reading the reviews, thought I would at least give it a chance however I have to agree with the others here. It's frozen twice needing a plug power reset, first time I pressed TV Guide and it froze, second time after finishing a timed recording it froze in standby and failed to respond to remote or front panel buttons.

Rating: - Nice picture - terrible everything else!
This machine give a great picture through the HDMI, and plays Divx very well. That's about it for the good stuff.....

Rating:  - Good picture quality and easy to use but has recording problems
I was pleased with everything about this DVD until I discovered that mine had a couple of faults (not sure if these are common faults). When recording, it often doesnt switch off after the selected program has finished recording and so it records the next program until it uses up all the disk space, then the disk keeps spinning and gets hot, and you can only stop it by switching it off at the mains. Also there is no way of knowing how much room you have available on the disk and it will accept a recording ... Read More
