5.0 out of 5 stars LG 497H HDD Digital TV/DVD Recorder - absolutely brilliant!, 30 Jan 2010
This review is from: LG RHT497H Digital TV Recorder with 160GB Hard Disc Drive & DVD Recorder (Electronics)
Bought this product to replace an ageing VCR and DVD player - absolutely brilliant purchase! Easy to set up and connect to TV and very simple to navigate around instructions. Recording is so simple - using the built-in TV Guide you just select the programme and press the record button - no tapes, discs or anything to worry about, no fiddling about with inputting dates, times, channels, etc and wondering if you've set it right! For recording stuff that you just want to watch once and then delete, the hard-drive memory seems huge (about 80 hours) so most of the time you can record straight onto that without using a disc and then just delete it again, but for things you want to keep, having the facility to copy onto disc is really useful too. The facility to pause live TV (e.g. when the phone rings) is also simple to operate and a great idea. Overall, I'm really impressed - really good value for money.

Sue (England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LG RHT497H Digital TV Recorder with 160GB Hard Disc Drive & DVD Recorder (Electronics)
We have had this for around a month now and do rate the quality very highly, as it does exactly what it says.

It's very compatible with our LG television and works in harmony.

Yes we would rate this product for ease of use and quality at a reasonable price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice unit but fiddly remote, 13 Sep 2009
By 
C. Gravell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: LG RHT497H Digital TV Recorder with 160GB Hard Disc Drive & DVD Recorder (Electronics)
Purchased two weeks ago and have put it through it's paces somewhat.

The unit looks the business with a nice clean front panel. Basic controls are hidden behind a drop down panel.
Just one oddity... the open/close drawer button is at the other end to the drawer itself, while the power button is above it.

Recording to HDD seems to work very well and, unlike my previous Panasonic disc-based recorder, appears to adapt to slight schedule changes - grabbed all of MOTD last night despite it being delayed by Proms coverage.
Series recording is possible and it's recorded Mock The Week for me twice, once again adapting to a schedule change.
Odd thing... if you watch through the unit as it's recording, the subtitles appear on-screen though they don't appear when you watch the recording back unless you turn them on.

Have tried quite a few xvid/divx data discs & normal DVDs and have had no problems; no stuttering, skipping or decoding artefacts. Picture looks very nice to me through my 32" LG flatscreen, which the remote also operates basic functions of.

The remote has comprehensive controls but is a little fiddly - small buttons and tiny labelling - but nonetheless will become intuitive after a short time.

Overall I am happy with the purchase.
Excellent value for money.
