Ease of recording

Easy plug-and-play out the box. Simple but functional / intuitive Sky-type remote control. Good quality display and menus. Can record 2 channels at once, unlike many that could and now can't after the digital broadcast system was changed. Very small...

Needs a fair signal or can crash, like so many other DTB boxes, but once it has one works very well. Prog guide is not good (non-proportionate display). Top-Up-TV information keeps appearing, even if you don't use it. You can't set extended record time...

Cheap

Box is constantly crashing, missing recordings and requires powering down and rebooting, a five minute process

LOVELY QUALITY !!

NO VOLUME ADJUSTMENT, NO MUTE. SOMETIMES HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF A PROGRAMME, IF LEFT VIEWING HALFWAY THROUGH. CAN'T WATCH A 3RD PROGRAMME WHILE RECORDING 2 PROGRAMMES AT THE SAME TIME. IT DISCONNECTED ONCE AND I LOST EVERYTHING. NOT...

None so far but the proof ot the pudding is how long it lasts!

ease of use and instructions easy to follow

easy to use and unlike other similar products it does not erase recorded programs without warning

Easy to setup, easy to use very suitable for the elderly lady it was brought for to replace her old VHS

none

Easy to set up and also nice and compact. Recording and playback easy - at last I'm not missing anything when I'm at work! Series link works fab too.

Shame you can't continue to view the programme your watching whilst also viewing the TV guide, also the top-up TV is a little overkill, doesn't always show the listings, but thats probably a signal issue rather than the boxes fault.
