If you've got Freeview this is the recorder for you,
By
This review is from: Sony RDR-HXD995 Freeview+ 250GB Hard Disc Drive DVD Recorder (Electronics)
I've had the 250GB version of this hard disc recorder for about a month now and I'm completely happy with it. I understand if you've got Sky or Cable it's a bit tricky to setup, but if you're planning on using it for just Freeview it's perfect. Some reviews have mentioned that the unit is loud, but I think they must just have faulty versions as mine is quiet as a mouse.
Setup is a doddle... simply put your ariel lead into the back of the Sony, a scart lead between the Sony and your TV, plug it in and you're away. Once the clock is setup and it's downloaded the programme guide (all done via a simple menu) you can begin watching, recording, playing. Quick extra tip: If you put an ariel lead between your Sony and TV (in addition to the Scart) you can watch normal terrestial without turning on the Sony... or watch one programme whilst it is recording another for you. If you have American DVDs, I don't think this is multi-region as standard, however I bought my box from one of the sellers advertising on the Amazon marketplace (rather than Amazon direct) because they are selling a multi-region version. In summary: if you're trying to work out to get this or a Philips, choose this.

Worth Every Penny,

This review is from: Sony RDR-HXD995 Freeview+ 250GB Hard Disc Drive DVD Recorder (Electronics)
This is the first review I have ever submitted but I feel this products definitely warrants it. Having had my previous Sony DVD recorder for about 3 years I decided to take the plunge and get a hard disk version. This unit is a dream. Easy to set up and the Freeview reception and picture are immaculate. But the best thing about this item for me is how easy it is to set up programs/series to record. Just select from the guide and press OK. Whereas with my old recorder I would have to think twice about going through the laborious setup routine for each programme, now it takes seconds. I have also been using it to transfer treasured VHS recordings onto the hard drive and then 'dubbing' them back onto DVD. Again, this is so easy to do and I can edit the recordings before transferring them. The dubbing process is really quick. This was my first major electrical item purchased from Amazon and it arrived within a few days. I am so pleased with this product and do not have a bad word to say about it!(And rest assured, I do not work for Sony or Amazon!)

Great product,

This review is from: Sony RDR-HXD995 Freeview+ 250GB Hard Disc Drive DVD Recorder (Electronics)
I wanted a new Freeview recorder that was both HDD and DVD. I really wanted a twin Freeview but could not find one that was acceptable so decided to go with this after reading the excellent reviews. At least you can record one program while watching on normal analog TV. This arrived within 2 days of ordering and only took 15 minutes from opening box to full set up. Very easy and the instructions for operating the unit were good too. My wife normally has a problem the first few days with new electronic gear but she got to grips with this very easily. The picture quality is excellent and the DVD upscaling is great too.
