Has anyone had experience with this particular product? Looks good to me, but canvassing some feedback before I accept the resolution offered.

Been told my DVD Recorder is uneconomical to repair and been offered this as replacement.

Cheers

Steve

It's probably the best (also only) Freeview DVD recorder on the market.
250GB HDD, HDMI out (for upscaling DVD playback as well as Freeview HD), you can record 2 x programes at once - while watching a DVD or something off the hard drive. You can series link via the
Freeview EPG, as well as use the Freeview EPG to plan your viewing.
It's also DLNA compliant, so you can stream content over your network to other connected DLNA monitors (other TV's you have wired to your LAN) and has a pretty good interface (graphics don't appear to be HD though).
The downsides?
Cost, lack of competition from anyone else, hard drive can fill up when recording HD content if you're not one for watching then deleting...
Apart from that, they're a well respect box.

My faulty one didnt have Freeview so I'm already onto a good thing with the replacement. I had lots of captured video from VHS on there and I just hope the data is still recoverable.

I'll accept their resolution and agree to this model as a replacement :-)
