Lots of features

Let down by lots of problems - frozen picture, unit hangs, menus difficult to navigate, recordings lost, cut off or scheduled recordings fail.

Lots of random features. Good picture.

Internet browsing feature is difficult to use and very slow. Though it says "Catch up TV" it only has BBCiplayer. I.e. No ITVplayer or other catch up services. Poorly designed navigation. Wish I got the YouView box instead.

Easy to set up. Small and Light

Not all the functions are spelled out in the Operating Manual e.g. How to delete recorded programmes frpm the PVR. Did not come with an HDMI Cable. Therefore I could not set up the unit upon receipt.

Easy to use Great array of features that all work extremely well Nice design Would highly recommend this product

Image quality only fractionally worse than through my panasonic's built-in freeview reciever

Superb picture quality and Functionality

Complex to use, Navigation not intuitive, poor Manual
