I too had the same problem with this item that several people did in regard to delayed stuttery play back and also slow responses when using the built in TV guide/Freeview. I phoned Samsung and they posted me a DVD which updates the software in the unit and bingo now works fine. Phone number for Samsung is 0845 7267864

This unit is rubbish! 14 April 2009
Despite reading about the problems experienced by those who had bought this unit, I went ahead a ordered one. What a mistake! I had all of the same problems. A firmware download changed nothing so I asked for the software update which the machine promptly rejected. Must have spent a fortune on 'phone calls to Samsung. I contacted Amazon who agreed to take the machine back and refund my money. This machine does NOT work and Samsung should not be offering it for sale. You have been warned!

Very poor 18 Jan 2009
Do not buy this. I concur with all the poor reviews. The software for the machine is hopeless. Video plus recording is very unreliable. Switching between HD and DVD is poor. I wish I had never purchased this. My previous Sony had excellent software but I replaced it with a Samsung because that one died after only 2 and half years of not especially heavy use.

Really Bad!
I don't often write reviews of products on Amazon, but this product should be avoided. In fact, Samsung should remove it from stores as it is not fit for purpose. Read more
