Customer Review: Leave well alone
Had two of these. First one died after three weeks - it just powered itself off and never came back. The second one was pretty much DOA - displayed ‘Starting…’ but never started. Apart from that, it was easy enough to set up, but the user interface was not intuitive and the remote control response time was painfully slow.
Customer Review: ONE BOX TO FIND THEM, ONE BOX TO BIND THEM & IN THE FRONT ROOM USE THEM
I think this unit is good. I’m a confirmed Apple Mac user and had considered just putting another Mac in the front room with a DVB Tuner card in it. I might still do this, but for different reasons now. The rest of the family don’t embrace all the new technology and this is a BETTER DOMESTIC type solution. I like them so much, I bought 3 - but please note, I have a self interest as I’m now selling the other two units on here at a special price. I do like these unit though and even at full price would recommend. The dual tuner is useful in areas not yet getting a full digital service. It seems to play anything I put in it from my collection. Bags of Hard Drive space, yielding plenty of digital recording time. As a Apple Mac user I like my kit to look good and this meets that criteria as well.

Customer Review: Good but limited controls
I wsa very pleased with the results I got from this straight away. Plugged it in after installing the driver first (always the best thing to do with USB devices). Fired up the Instant DVD recorder, dropped my old VCR tapes onto disk with no problems. I burn via other software after edting so can’t comment on the stability or otherwise of the burning side of the software. The only thing that let’s it down for me, is the lack of ability to specify given formats, such as 352X576, 352×288 or 576×720. The “good, better, best” option isn’t very helpful and I find that a 3 hour tape needs to be split between 2 DVD’s. Used with DVD Shrink, I can fit the data, but I do lose quality of course. At full quality, I’m more than happy with the results and ease of use. Only that lack of decent control over capture quality stops me from giving it 5 stars.
Customer Review: Rubbish - wish I hadn’t bought it.
The hardware to get the video onto your computer works fine, no problems with that. The software, however, is a total load of rubbish. It constantly crashes and malfunctions - the resulting DVD won’t even play. To top it all, it crashed again and I lost the whole project that I’d spent a whole day working on. I am now using different software which works well. I would not recommend this product unless you already have some good video editing software.
