Pros
- It uses Freeviews Mheg-5 EPG (and adds new Freeview channels automatically)
- I love the recording – it can record a channel then you can watch another channel on the same mux (so record a TVNZ channel and watch the others), also you can start recording then start “chasing” the recording.
- You select programs to record from the EPG
- HDMI (only 576i output tho, but hey its only SD anyway)
Cons
- You must get the lastest firmware to get rid of some bugs (Depending when you purchased unit, older units = older firmware)
- USB is on the back ( a pain to plug/unplug device) but handy to keep it away from kids
Rating FIVE out of FIVE (with the current firmware) – its a great DVB-S device, nice and simple and the recording features are awesome as it should be!
