Picture stick on channel being watched. Cannot be changed until powered off then back on.

Simplicity. Quality of recordings

Electronic programme guide (EPG), frequently gets out of sync - ie channel number and programme content do not always appear on same line in the EPG. This is not a major issue for me as the discrepancy is obvious, and easily overcome to select the...

The fan is really noisy, you can only record one channel and you have to be watching another and can't record when timeshifting. It cuts out for no reason, so some recording is lost and it freezes sometimes so you can't change channel.

Ease of use

Sometimes control goes into lockout ie freezes (rectified by disconection). Can get a noise from vibration from time to time (rectified by just slight movement of the machine.

convenient,good quality playback,easy to record

occasionally locks up

Lots of features for the price

Bit noisy as fan is on

looks good

turns itself off and on stops recording half way through, records programms not requested

I am happy with the features I got for the low price.I wanted to record multiple tv programmes and movies on tv. What is nice is that I can record 2 channels and watch a 3rd at the same time.Enough space to keep a lot of movies.

Sometimes the machine just switch off and reinnitialize itself but it switches on by itself again and your recording will continue so you will not loose your recordings.

Easy to use

The colour settings are not so good - it's difficult to see the recording line as that and the channel indicator are the same colour.
