Score 5.0/10+ Clear picture, easy set up.

Guide doesn't allow you to switch to the programme you choose, it just tries to start recording.
If you have a DVD in the machine at startup, it tries to load the DVD even if you just want to watch telly, and you are locked out for a while while the DVD loads.
