We bought this box as a budget buy to replace play tv on the ps3, its quite a smart looking machine for such a low price, very quiet and very easy to set up. we did find when unpacking the box that the plastic wrapping of the box itself was very hard to peel off and left a lot of marks on the plastic surface, this comes of with a little elbow grease but a little unexpected.
In operation the machine suffered with daily lock ups from day one but this wasn`t too annoying and easily rectified,( a simple reset sorted this out,) but the box mostly worked well and never missed a recording.
Sadly however after about a month she started to miss the odd recording and within a short space of time gave up recording altogether, no amount of restarting would cure this, in the end we returned the box back to Amazon and spent more on a Humax which has so far proved to be reliable and a good buy.
