EASY TO USE. EVEN MY 83 YEAR OLD NEARLY BLIND MOTHER CAN USE ONE I GOT FOR HER.

TOO EASY TO FILL UP THE 32 PROGRAMME SETTINGS ALLOWED.HAVE TO KEEP CANCELLING SERIES ETC. I HAVE SOON FILLED UP THE 320GB MEMORY AND HAVE TO KEEP WATCHING SO I CAN RECORD SOMETHING ELSE!! THINKING OF GETTING ANOTHER FOR UPSTAIRS THEN WE HAVE HIS AND HERS!

Very easy to set-up. I plugged everything in and started to read the set-up instructions - the box had already set itself up without me! Easy to use.

The remote doesn't change the volume on my TV but that is maybe becasue i havent set it up properly. Not easy to figure out how to fix this and I have to use my TV remote for volume and the box remote for everything else.

Very easy to list programmes already recorded, far better than changing discs, or searching vhs tape. Very easy to list programmes to record from the Guide screen

I would prefer the play button to be between the rather than below them, as is more common on other remote controls, but otherwise, there does not appear to be anything else which I would wish to change.

Picture and sound quality grate. Reliable haven't missed a single recording. Definitely recommend it.

Navigation menus bit difficult but you are getting to know your way around very quickly.

picture quality., sound quality., ease of use., great epg

it gives you freeview hd channels

series link fails, recording fails, not wi-fi, no real on-demand service

You only need a few buttons to cover most of the functionality

Loads of buttons on the controller, most of which you'll never use

Easy to use, simple interface and a stylish look. The picture quality is very good and the recording system is implemented well.

Sometimes slow reaction time when pausing and rewinding live tv. No scart as well for tvs without hdmi.
