Dave, Plymouth

Score 7.0/10

+ It is small and does what it says on the tin. ie it records to pen drives. The quality of the recording is fine

- The remote and general controls are far from bug free. Sometimes once recorded the system will not turn off. The sequence of recording is finnicky at times and there is plenty of work of be done to get a bug free set of controls. I can imagine some non technical users getting very frustrated with using the controls.
The user guide does not indicate what to do if recording doesn't take place or if the control locks up!!

Score 8.0/10

+ I have a 500Gb drive connected to it and it is working fine. Not sure if it would see a 2Tb drive but if it can handle drives that large then you could have 6Tb of space. Based on the 500Gb drive I have connected that would give me about 3000 hours of recording.

- None really that I can see.
I have only used it for about 2 weeks so still finding my way. It doesn't appear to have a way of recording a series but maybe I just haven't found it yet.

Anonymous verified purchaser

Score 5.0/10

+ Can record to my USB drive and move the recordings between PCs
Good Freeview reception
Overall, great piece of kit ... when it works!

- Recordings frequently fail and leave the box locked up so all future recordings also fail until you restart by switching off at the wall
User interface is not very pretty :)
Copying recordings between USB keys is incredibly slow
