Third item from playcom in last 15months superspeed delivery(3days). The unit for the likes of an "oldy" was easy to set up and operate. big improvement on the old tape system. After three days of playing about with it fully at ease and set for a winter or really easy recordings of good quality. Manual and quick use instructions logical and easy to follow. With HDD no more looking round for lost programmes and easy to transpose to disc. Very neat and tidy unit.
I made a mistake buying this machine.
1) Only starts record in standby.
2) Freeview guide loses info when you change channel. It is very slow.
3) Can't pause playback for longer than 5 mins, then you lose your place.
4)Information panels poorly designed, waste space available.
5) Doesn't save progam title for recording.
6) Recorded picture quality poor, has many freezes.
7) Delay between pressing button and action.
8) Copy HDD to DVD very slow, takes 25 mins plus for 2 hr program.
To summarise, just awful, there are many more problems, my advice is just avoid it.
I've also read bad reviews of this recorder, but have no problems myself. It needs a bit of tweeking with the settings to get the best out of the image quality, as does all hdtv's and gadgets plugged into them. Maybe it's because i have a samsung LCD that i can get the best out of it. Definately a good buy for the money, makes good copies onto DVD too.
henridecat says it all! What a waste of money for something that sounds so promising. Oh, to add to his list of faults:
9) Clock does not do UK daylight saving correctly on EPG.
10) Video+ requires channel setting manually
I have had a few Hard drive recorders but this one is good very quiet and maybe some times a little slow refreshing the electronic program guide but that is common to most samsung digital devices. Once the controls are mastered quick and easy recording can take place. As it is a single freeview tunner it is best suited to complement a existing digital TV set !!!
