its cheap, has lots of options, supports multiple formats and its easy to use. You couldnt ask for more.

some question on reliability compared to 'name' brand HDD + DVD recorders, manual not comprehensive but controls can be worked out with a bit of trial and error

manual was not any help picture in manual was different to what came up on my tv
