This item is a must have if you have a PS3! It is so much more than a freeview tuner. It adds full recording functionality to your PS3 and allows you to record one channel while watching another. I also read that it will be HD compliant for when terrestrial HD broadcasting starts in the future.

Season passes are set by scheduling a recording to repeat daily or weekly which is not as good as other PVRs or Tivo but for the price paid I can handle that.

The interface is excellent and much better than any freeview box I have used. And with the Bluetooth PS3 remote you can put the whole set up in a cupboard or round behind the plasma/LCD and still operate it happily.

Only thing is that if you have a 40/80GB hard drive you may need to budget for a new hard drive too as the more you record the more space gets used.

Don't buy this if you already have a good working freeview box because there's no point really but I did because I didn't like the menu in my built in freeview on my TV so I got this for my PS3. Takes no more than 10 mins to set up. Just plug in, put disk in, scan for channels and your done. The thing that makes this great is the menu. it looks great and it works so fast! you can easily find out what program is on during the day and through the week with ease, also when you want to record you just hit select on he remote or ps controller and it will highlight red then you know it will record. Now, I'm not sure if this is my TV but I have to change the picture settings on my TV to have a decent picture because if I have the picture setting on my usual setting, the picture looks blocky. But overall, it's good and easy to work with.

i bought this product about 5 months ago. prob the best thing i've bought for my PS3. the only problem i've found that if you have the 40 GB PS3 you'll need to get a bigger hard drive.......but that all depends on how much TV you wont to save.
