Given their age, ease of use is a must.
Couple of questions please:
- How reliable is recording to a USB HDD? Is it a gimmick and should I go for a purpose-built PVR instead? Recordings don't have to be full HD but I would like them to not 'jump' and not pixelate.
- I have seen the Sony KDL40W600B at a good price but looking at the manual it says you can't schedule recordings direct from the EPG. This pretty much rules out this model. Is this a Sony limitation or a Freeview constraint (licencing??)?
