Dennis, Bishops Stortford , “Average Techo Literate”
Score 4.0/10+ Reviewer left no comment
- Extremely complex set up / operating instructions, not exactly in the plug and play mould. Remote control too complex and fiddly.

Mick, Preston
Score 9.0/10+ A very easy to use product with more than enough memory to store films on the HDD. The connection to Samsung TVs make use even better
- The only bad point I can comment on is the noise level of the disk player. i imagine this would be quite irratating to people with sensetive ears.

Score 8.0/10+ Nice design
- Slow to show the programme timetable
purchased 19 Oct 2008
Jim, Chesterfield
Score 10.0/10+ Clean and simple looking design - aesthetically pleasing. Reasonably simple controls The manual is concise and understandable. It does what it says on the box
- The controller is too small with legends that are only just readable - All paper documentation should be in 14 pitch ariel at least with no odd colour combinations. A CD / DVD version of the documentation viewed through the TV would be useful.

alex, airdrie
Score 8.0/10+ all round average
- its noisy also buffer does,nt work woth cable tv ,plus to use timer you need to switch off dvd
purchased 18 Dec 2008
seb, london , “tech savvy”
Score 2.0/10+ Freeview receiver pretty strong.
-
Very poor control system, i.e. tiny buttons for the functions you use the most such as the guide.
Pausing live TV takes about 5 button presses and is not automatically done.
You need to have the machine turned off for it to record anything.
So basically the PVR functionalilty is a real pain to use.
purchased 23 Dec 2008
Peter, Portisead/La Tercia , “Two homes England Spain”
Score 6.0/10+ Extensive versitility, portable between locations, brochure was reasonably explanitory
-
This equipment has many functions and is therefore complicated to use, it should have been simplified
Hard drive recording proves to have faults in playback ie every few minutes a pause and then it catches up again.

Expert reviews for Samsung DVD-SH875
TechRadar expert review
Samsung has earnt a formidable reputation for its flatpanel TVs ‚Äì and if you buy one, some vendors are offering this matching recorder at a discount. The elegant Samsung DVD-SH875M is not quite as well-specified as some of the competition, but that's not to say it's a slouch. Amongst its offerings are 250GB of HDD capacity, analogue and Freeview tuners, an HDMI output with 1080p upscaling and multiformat recording. Having said that, the SH875M has no truck with dual-layer discs.CD jukebox Powerful multimedia playback is onboard. It's possible to copy JPEG, DivX and MP3 files from CD…
