If you are looking for a box that will deliver a great feature set at a decent price, you can’t go far wrong with this PVR. At a shade under £200 it can add a new lease of life to an old LCD TV and gives a feeling of technological excellence well above...

Simple to use Not noisy in operation

can be slow, but if you are patient it isnt really a problem quite a bright and highly visible standby light

We purchased this after purchasing several other boxes. It is a nice box and small however the plastic does look a bit cheap so therefore would give it a 8/10 for rating for quality - design. The picture quality is exceptionally good with no signs of...

Lack of HD channels with high price tag just for specifically being HD, quality and build, freezes if you try to rush it.

Easy recording,excellent library features(instant access),superb picture quality.

Fast forward/rewind a bit fiddly.

Very good recording options including 2 program record facility. Very quiet while recording i.e. no disc noise.

The remote control cannot be set up to operate the Volume and Mute for my Panasonic Plasma TV so 2 remote controls are needed. Toshiba has not offered a solution.

Good picture, EPG simple to use, recall programs from the library simple, excellent value for money

none as yet

poor picture quality & reception

recordings 98% of the time start exactly at the beginning. for some reason only the gadget show begins after the credits. it doesn't have claim a time slip feature but you can time slip. nice guide

slow to start up, unless already recording. not so good when 3 recordings clash; ie; 2 recordings about to start and one to finish. it has locked up twice.

lots - great piece of kit

slow to "wake up" and you have to wait a second or two when selecting channels from the guide

Easy to use and grat picture. Good selection and control of recording

A bit slow
