Customer Review: Not a good PVR
Although this has lots of features and the picture/recording quality is good it is let down by the speed (or rather lack of speed) with which you can navigate the index of recordings made on the hard disk. It isn’t possible to view many recording titles on the same screen and the process of scrolling through the titles is painfully slow. Not competitive with Sky+ or Topfield PVRs in my opinion.

Customer Review: Flaky Operation lost freeview channels on DRT10
The problems experienced are as follows: The digital tuner frequently loses all of the digital channels. The message “not connected to aerial; no signal” appears on the screen. When attempting to re-tune (auto tune) the digital TV channels are picked up but when you attempt to select one of the channels you cannot. The only way to resolve the problem is to switch the unit off at the mains for 15 seconds, power on again and then retune the freeview channels. Other problems are that the fan is very noisy (which we have learnt to tolerate). You cannot watch freeview if there is a DVD in the drive, it will only play the DVD (not the desired digital TV) and then you have to wait for the DVD to get to the DVD menu before stopping the DVD to watch freeview; the TV/DVD swap button does not do anything. This causes an infuriatingly long delay before you can watch digital TV if there is a disk in the tray. When you start the unit and wish to eject a disc in the tray, it takes approximately 1 minute before you can eject the disk I have only tried a couple of times to record digital TV (not using the EPG) but have found the menus and disc preparation so slow that I have given up and recorded it on another device in the household instead. My opinion is that Daewoo have released a product on the market place which has not been properly tested and developed. That is perhaps why it is at the bottom end of market in price, but in my opinion the price is no excuse for these inherent flaws in the product.
Customer Review: GOOD VALUE
easiest device to set up I have ever come across, handy really because every few days it loses its settings & it has to be switched off at mains & re tuned, you could leave machine on but as previous reviewer writes, the fan is quite noisy. Also confirm you need to set timer early as disc has to be set up by recorder before recording starts, so EPG is not as useful as it could be. Overall I am happy with performance
