3.0 out of 5 stars Great quality - poor interface, 17 Nov 2008
By NeilC (Windsor, UK) - See all my reviews
  
Bought this a few days ago. First time that I've used a HDMI upscaler with my HD TV and I have to say I was amazed by the results. Absolutely superb picture for standard definition freeview. The unit is also quiet and runs well.
As other reviewers have mentioned the major drawback is the interface. Having used TiVo when I lived in the states it amazes me that no manufacturer can replicate such a straight forward experience. For this unit, the guide won't let you select channels, the channel switching is slow and the menu interfaces not intuitive. I'm sure with a bit of practice and a good read of the 70+ page manual (!) I could get better at it, but the wife will never put up with that so it's most likely going to go back.

BTW actually bought it from a Comet store but its £40 cheaper on Amazon so won't be making that mistake again! Also, Comet are an absolute rip-off for the cables, £29.99 was the cheapest one they had, but the guy tried to sell me one that cost £100? Incredible. This particular unit comes with an HDMI cable which was a nice touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best one I've had - by a country mile, 3 Jan 2009
By Campbell J. Smith "Errol flynn's lovechild" (in a champagne Supernova in the sky) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having purchased no less than five of these machines in the last three years, all returned to the Retailer as they were over-rated, of poor quality and hopelessly inadequate (two of them were Wharfedales, from which I expected a lot more having read loads of decent reviews), I opted to spend a little more on getting what I hoped was a better quality HDD recorder. Boy, am I glad I stumbled upon this beauty!

First of all, compared to Comet (£238 at the time) I got this machine for £150 or thereabouts. Secondly, it looks and feels good, and the manual, despite it's 95 pages, has thankfully not been "translated". No offence intended, but due to it having so many functions, it's better to be written in proper English.

Thirdly, and most importantly, it is of very good quality and so far I've found nothing to moan about. I'm learning new tricks by the day and I don't have a bad word to say about the machine.

And thanks to Amazon, I got it within 48 hours of purchase despite requesting super saver delivery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Choice, 3 Aug 2008
By T. Clode (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not having seen any reviews for this player before buying, I was a little
apprehensive before setting it up. I was amazed just how easy it was, they even included a hdmi cable to connect to my Toshiba TV.....
It took me about 20 minutes to be up and running and enjoying the top quality image..... Menu's are user friendly, it's a joy to use !
