Hilary, Manhester

Score 9.0/10

+ It is very easy to set up and to use. It means you see all athe programmes you want to as it is so easy to record. I love it. I now tend to look in the library to see what I want to see and watch that rather than live TV as all the programmes I want to watch are due to be recorded. This means I watch what I want to watch when I want to watch it.

- None

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Bargain hunter”

Score 5.0/10

+ Easy to set up & use

- Sometimes slow to respond. First product had to be returned within a month as it wouldn't start, 2nd one is now playing up (keeps rebooting itself when wathching/recording) so I guess this one will be going back soon - will be asking for refund this time!
