I bought this, then discovered I had to get the proper ariel for it to go. Did that, set it to France ( why? ) and voila, the reception in HD is amazing! My partner sat there looking at wrinkles on peoples faces! Anyhow, over all. Apart from the arial thing ( need one of those long ones with the barbs on it ) very easy to set up, and if used with an HD TV it has amazing picture quality!

This would have to be the best value electronics I have ever purchased as it was on special on the ape for $90, so I took a punt, and this box does it all. The ability to record and timeshift to a usb is a fantastic addition. Plugging in an external 40gb NTFS formatted hard drive even works when its not meant to! very very happy :-)

Easy to set-up & programme. We have connected the received to a 1TB Harddrive via the USB port – & can now record whilst watching another channel (& all in HD). All new TV's are coming out with a built in receiver – but not with the ‘PVR’ USB port which allows you to record to a harddrive – so this unit will still be useful, even when we upgrade the TV. Cost of Receiver + Harddrive = $193 – which is a bargain. Only criticism is that remote is not intuative – but it all seems to work well. Reccommended!
