    After doing a search looks like they have a problem of freezing, scroll down for reviews

    From memory that was down to underpowered PSUs which have been remedied in all the refurbs I've seen for sale.

    I got one and it seems pretty good, you can watch a recorded program and record 2 at the same time. For £40ish it is a bargain, fast delivery too. You can record in SP or LP and compress programs if needed.

    NO! NO! NO! Don't record on LP. You will lose programmes & get into all kinds of problems. Use the SP only & it's a great machine.
    Nice to save.

    You do know that freeview is losing Sky Sports news any month now don't you.
    Further evidence of Murdoch's greed.

    I have heard that as well, and agree with you about Sky.;)

    I have never watched Sky Sports news and to be honest I'll be glad that they will free up space for something else. Maybe we'll get an interesting channel instead.

    I agree with the poster who warns against compressing your recordings! It will work fine for a bit... and then it'll just wipe your entire library. Nothing you can do to restore it. It's a 'bug' and they were going to fix it about 18 months ago... But if you use it on standard SP, it's absolutely fine, no problems. Wouldn't be without mine.
