Simon, Bristol

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Easy to record and view. Wide range of programmes.
Bad points:: Only downside is it seems to be only available in black, when most tv / hi-fi equipment seems to be silver these days. A small price to pay though.

Cliff, London

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Easy set up, worked well from the off. Programme guide works well and timeslip and record function is simple. Not much else to say other than it does what it's supposed to - well.
Bad points:: Too big. The only difference between this unit and an ordinary freeview box is the hard drive, so why does the box have to be so hugh? A minor point, but thought I'd mention it.

Richard , Gosberton near Spalding

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Overall it works out of the box not too clever for its own good, meaning overlaying technology on technology. On screen TV guide excellent. Set up is easy.
Bad points:: Handset needs a little attention to its design on buttons but nothing serious. The picure quality can get a little grainy, probalbly due to reception and or tuner.
