How are you dealing with fast forward and rewind?  I presume all it has is skip?

 

Fast forward and rewind isn't the same as sky, as you can't see the images scrolling forward or back in time. However it isn't too bad once you realise that each advertisement break during a show is about 5 minutes, so skipping an ad break is as easy as fast forwarding 5 minutes.

We like the fact that we don't actually record much, as programme catchups are almost always available. For example the cricket yesterday we didn't record, but when we got home from work, we used the EPG to scroll back to the first innings and start it from the beginning.

The few shows we do record are mostly movies for the kids, however I'm not 100% sure how long they remain recorded for.
