Customer Review: Going Digital
The HDD DVD recorder seems excellent value for money and does the job perfectly. I don’t think you can record and watch a DVD or recording at the same time (other than the timeshift pause live tv function), but I might not have worked that part out yet. The instructions are pretty complicated!

My only concern with this product is it’s lack of built in digital decoder, so to record digital I have to use my old digital decoder. My TV has a built in decoder but I don’t think I can use that to record, so I have to have an additional decoder……I’m not quite sure what the solution is when the terrestrial signal gets switched off as it is a faff to make sure that the digi box is on the right channel for recording.

So although I’d recommend the product I think that next time I’ll definitely get a built in decoder as it would be tens times easier that way. Spend the extra money if you can afford it….

Customer Review: Waste of money
DVD recorder, built-in Freeview, multi-region - what more could a person ask for? Well how about the ability of the thing to actually work? I’ve had this product for about a year now and during this time it’s done nothing but freeze on me every time I actually wanted to use the thing. In fact most of my time this past year has been spent crawling on all fours round the back of the telly unplugging then plugging in this device just to get it to operate. Well not any longer. Last night the thing packed in altogether. And a good thing too. That means I can now get myself something decent. Hurray! The only positive thing I can say about this product is the endless joy I now derive from bashing it repeatedly with a hammer.
Customer Review: Constant freezes
I have owned this product for one day and my first impressions are that it is rubbish. I have already had numerous crashes and on rebooting from the mains it works for a while and then crashes again.Remote control buttons won’t operate the machine.This has definitely been a bad buy and will be being returned. Avoid like the plague

Customer Review: SIMPLY TO USE. FEW POINTS FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW.
Firstly, this machine does not have a HARD DRIVE at all. Anyone who says it has has a different model number to this one. Regarding the only 2 hours recording thim this DVD has the facility to record EP which is 6hours play on DVD or 10hours on DLayer disc. Refer to pg 42 of manual and pg 23 for all settings. To operate these on the on creen display press the rec mode on the remote near 3 red record buttons on remote. It will show on screen when you repeatedly press rec mode on remote. A cute feature on this is when you are selecting programmes to record on the TV menu the machine will tell you if there is not enough room on disk to copy programmes it on. So then you just select the rec mode and in it corrected. As for the EPG update at 3-4 pm i found that if you put machine in total shut off mode i.e.(no time displayed at all) then the noise is not as bad. The first programme i recorded i had to power the machine up to see if it had stated to copy or not as nothing lit up on the display, my other Sony actually started up but this one does not. Great for the planet eh. Much more user friendly than my old Sony and I love the fact that you can start to watch something after you have started to record it. Say the phone goes so you start to record Corra, you can then start to watch it when phone call ends. You select title list and it will show you what you are recording then select enter and then select play from beginning, you watch start of show and the DVD finishes recording the end of Corra. Very clever indeed. Great machine, would recommend it to anyone. You’ll love it. So simple to use. Wrighty
