2.0 out of 5 stars Looks great but won't always record as programmed, 3 Sep 2009
By J. Stagg (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: LG RHT497H Digital TV Recorder with 160GB Hard Disc Drive & DVD Recorder (Electronics)
I bought one of these and it looks good, the pics are great and its easy to set up and use, I mostly use it to record series via the EPG and I really liked it for a few days - BUT!!! it worked perfectly for a few days, then it failed to record an episode of a series, then it missed a couple more episodes, then it started recording channels that had not been selected, then it randomly changed from XP to lowest resolution, after a few weeks there was only a 50% chance it would record as programmed at all, the retailer happily did a swap but this too developed the same problem after a couple of weeks and I've now just received my third brand new LG RHT497H - if this one fails I'll have to get a different model, any advice?

Update - the third one has now also failed - basically all three worked perfectly for 1-2 weeks then start losing programmes and go downhill fast!! Sadly I'll have to return it and get another make and model - three out of three with the same problems has to be more than coincidence.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sick of Subtitle!!!, 24 Nov 2009
This review is from: LG RHT497H Digital TV Recorder with 160GB Hard Disc Drive & DVD Recorder (Electronics)
Bought this product about a month ago. On the plus side the recordings are fine and the overall quality is sound for the price. I bought it to 'tie in ' with an LG tv which is superb and which gives a wonderful picture.

Only problem is that 'subtitles are seen every time the HD is switched on and, after a while, it drives you crackers.

Also, the instruction booklet is not either easy to understand or to apply to the machine.

I do believe that the machine is value for money, but when I compare it with previous DVD recorders I have had it is nowhere near the same quality in terms of the versatility of other machines.

2.0 out of 5 stars geoff_redcar, 21 Nov 2009
By GL Redcar (North Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LG RHT497H Digital TV Recorder with 160GB Hard Disc Drive & DVD Recorder (Electronics)
I bought this to match the LG TV that I have, Unit set up was easy. EPG selection OK to access as is list of titles that have been recorded. Very unhappy that if I am watching a prerecorded title and a new title starts to record the prerecorded title stops playing and the new title is displayed and played with SUBTITLES ( I have not been able to stop the unit from recording subtitles) to start watching the prerecorded title means starting from beginning again, this becomes very frustating, also not sure as to the benefits of SIMPLINK operation. I do not think I could recommend this unit
