Customer Review: I wish I read these comments before I bought one!
As so many people have discovered this unit is RUBBISH. It is very difficult to use (complicated by the fact that the Samsung TV and DVD remotes look so similar!).

I can reiterate everything everyone else has said.

My main problem is that my unit will not record from Digital without freezing juddering - and worst of all - making a horrendous noise straight from the bowels of Satan.

It will be going back on Monday. Avoid.

My Samsung LCD TV however is awesome. No faults whatsoever.

Customer Review: Is it just me ?
I tried to setup this machine for a friend last night and hit 2 problems. First is that it doesn’t appear to allow “series recording”. Second is that after recording, the title doesn’t appear to be placed in the program library, just the date and time of recording. This may be because I just did an instant recording however I would be interested to know if it does actually store the titles of timer-recorded items, imagine the difficulty of looking through 400 hours worth of library and trying to remember when something was recorded. I have a Sony RDRHXD970 and it’s a dream compared to this !!
